Stability of synchronization under stochastic perturbations in leaky integrate and fire neural networks of finite size

Abstract

We study the synchronization of fully-connected and totally excitatory integrate and fire neural networks in presence of Gaussian white noises. Using a large deviation principle, we prove the stability of the synchronized state under stochastic perturbations. Then, we give a lower bound on the probability of synchronization for networks which are not initially synchronized. This bound shows the robustness of the emergence of synchronization in presence of small stochastic perturbations.
