Extracting functionally feedforward networks from a population of spiking neurons

Neuronal avalanches are a ubiquitous form of activity characterized by spontaneous bursts whose statistics follow a power-law. Recent theoretical models capture neuronal avalanches by assuming the presence of functionally feedforward connections (FFCs), whereby avalanches are generated by a feedforw...
