Abstract

We study the synchronization of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons connected in a directed lattice network under the influence of deliberate link malfunctions in the form of probabilistic deletion (probability q) and link direction flipping (p) at different noise levels, σ. Our extensive numerical experiments probe the interplay of p and q and show that there are certain combinations for which the synchronization reaches its optimal state. In addition, for the same coupling strength, the synchronization is improved at an optimal noise strength (σ_max).
