Synchronization in Hindmarsh-Rose neurons subject to higher-order interactions
Higher-order interactions might play a significant role in the collective dynamics of the brain. With this motivation, we here consider a simplicial complex of neurons, in particular, studying the effects of pairwise and three-body interactions on the emergence of synchronization.

| Summary: | Higher-order interactions might play a significant role in the collective dynamics of the brain. With this motivation, we here consider a simplicial complex of neurons, in particular, studying the effects of pairwise and three-body interactions on the emergence of synchronization. We assume pairwise interactions to be mediated through electrical synapses, while for second-order interactions, we separately study diffusive coupling and nonlinear chemical coupling. For all the considered cases, we derive the necessary conditions for synchronization by means of linear stability analysis, and we compute the synchronization errors numerically. Our research shows that the second-order interactions, even if of weak strength, can lead to synchronization under significantly lower first-order coupling strengths. Moreover, the overall synchronization cost is reduced due to the introduction of three-body interactions if compared to pairwise interactions. |
