Dynamics of self-sustained asynchronous-irregular activity in random networks of spiking neurons with strong synapses

Random networks of integrate-and-fire neurons with strong current-based synapses can, unlike previously believed, assume stable states of sustained asynchronous and irregular firing, even without external random background or pacemaker neurons.We analyze the mechanisms underlying the emergence, life...
