STDP in oscillatory recurrent networks: theoretical conditions for desynchronization and applications to deep-brain stimulation

Highly synchronized neural networks can be the source of various pathologies such as Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. Therefore, it is crucial to better understand the dynamics of such networks and the conditions under which a high level of synchronization can be observed. One of the ke...
