Adaptive coupling-enhanced spiking synchronization in Newman-Watts neuronal networks with time delays

In this paper, we study how adaptive coupling with time-periodic growth speed (TPGS) affects the spiking synchronization of weighted adaptive Newman-Watts Hodgkin-Huxley neuron networks with time delays. It is found that the neuronal spiking intermittently exhibits synchronization transitions between desynchronization and in-phase synchronization or anti-phase synchronization as TPGS amplitude or frequency is varied, showing multiple synchronization transitions. These transitions depend on the values of time delay and can occur only when time delay is close to those values that can induce synchronization transitions when the growth speed is fixed. These results show that the adaptive coupling with TPGS has great influence on the spiking synchronization of the neuronal networks and thus plays a crucial role in the information processing and transmission in neural systems.
