Neurobiologically Realistic Determinants of Self-Organized Criticality in Networks of Spiking Neurons
Figure 7
Illustrative power-law distributions of avalanche sizes and durations.
Cumulative probability distributions of avalanche (a) sizes and (b) durations for the optimal power-law (), exponential (
) and linear (
) density scaling functions. Gray and pink distributions correspond to random networks (concave distributions) and ordered networks (convex distributions). (c) Mean exponents of statistically significant power-law distributions of avalanche sizes (black) and durations (red), as a function of network randomization. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean from
simulations.
