We carry out three coupling strategies: large-large coupling, random coupling, and small-small coupling. By computer simulations and analytical methods, we find that couplings between nodes with large degree play an important role in the synchronization. For large-large coupling, less couplings are needed for inducing synchronization for both random and scale-free networks. For random coupling, cutting couplings between nodes with large degree is very efficient for preventing neural systems from synchronization, especially when subnetworks are scale-free.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-01-08T09:20:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "degree distribution", "mutual synchronization", "large degree play", "two-layer neural networks", "random coupling" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
