abstract = {The activity of spiking network models exhibits fast
oscillations (>200 Hz), caused by inhibition-dominated
excitatory-inhibitory loops [1, 2]. As correlations between
pairs of neurons are weak in nature and models, fast
oscillations have so far received little attention.Today’s
models of cortical networks with natural numbers of neurons
and synapses [3] remove any uncertainty about down-scaling
artifacts [4]. Fast oscillations here arise as vertical
stripes in raster diagrams. We discuss experimental
detectability of oscillations, ask whether they are an
artifact of simplified models, and identify adaptations to
control them.The population rate spectrum decomposes into
single-neuron power spectra (∼N) and cross-spectra of
pairs of neurons (∼N2) [5,6]. For low numbers of neurons
(100) and weak correlations, the single-neuron spectra
dominate the compound spectrum. Coherent oscillations in the
population activity may thus go unnoticed in experimental
spike recordings. Population measures obtained from large
neuron ensembles (e.g., LFP), however, should show a
pronounced peak.Cortical network models allow an
investigation from different angles. We rule out artifacts
of time-discrete simulation and investigate the effect of
distributed synaptic delays: exponential distributions
decrease the oscillation amplitude, expected by their
equivalence to low-pass filtering [7], whereas truncated
Gaussian distributions are ineffective.Surprisingly, a model
of V1 [8], with the same architecture, but fewer synapses
per neuron, does not exhibit fast oscillations. Mean-field
theory shows that loops within each inhibitory population
cause fast oscillations. Peak frequency and amplitude are
determined by eigenvalues of the effective connectivity
matrix approaching instability [9]. Reducing the connection
density decreases the eigenvalues, increasing their distance
to instability; we thus expect weaker oscillations.Counter
to expectation and simulation, mean-field theory predicts an
increase, explained by an overestimation of the transfer
function at high frequencies [10]: the initial network
appears to be linearly unstable, with |λ|>1; reduced
connectivity seemingly destabilizes the system. A
semi-analytical correction restores qualitative agreement
with simulation.The work points at the importance of models
with realistic cell densities and connectivity, and
illustrates the productive interplay of simulation-driven
and analytical approaches.References 1. Brunel, N. Dynamics
