Degree Correlations Optimize Neuronal Network Sensitivity to Sub-Threshold Stimuli.

Information processing in the brain crucially depends on the topology of the neuronal connections. We investigate how the topology influences the response of a population of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons to a stimulus. We devise a method to calculate firing rates from a self-consistent system of...
