Abstract

We study the influence of delayed coupling on synchronization in neural network motifs. Numerical simulations based on the Rulkov map reveal different behavior in the presence and in the absence of the delay. While without delay, synchronization improves as the coupling strength is increased, in the presence of a delay, synchronization becomes worse. We also study how a feedback loop affects synchronization. An increase in the number of neurons involved in the loop leads to desynchronization in the motifs, saturating at a certain value of the synchronization index.
