Topic: bistable dynamics

One of the key questions in neuroscience is how the connectivity structure of cortical networks determines the collective dynamics of neural activity. Two complementary approaches have been developed to address this question: (i) specifying connectivity in terms of local statistics of excitatory-inhibitory motifs [Trousdale et al. 2012, Aljadeff et al. 2015]; (ii) specifying connectivity through a global low-rank structure that determines the low-dimensional dynamics [Mastrogiuseppe and Ostojic 2018, Beiran et al. 2021, Dubreuil et al. 2020]. It is however currently unclear how local connectiv
