Abstract

The effects of nonlocal and reflecting connectivities have been previously investigated in coupled Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) elements, which assimilate the exchange of electrical signals between neurons. In this work, we investigate the effect of diagonal coupling inspired by findings in brain neuron connectivity. Multi-chimera states are reported both for the simple diagonal and combined nonlocal–diagonal connectivities, and we determine the range of optimal parameter regions where chimera states appear. Overall, the measures of coherence indicate that as the coupling range increases (below all-to-all coupling) the emergence of chimera states is favored and the mean phase velocity deviations between coherent and incoherent regions become more prominent. A number of novel synchronization phenomena are induced as a result of the combined connectivity. We record that for coupling strengths σ 1. In the intermediate regime, σ ~ 1, the oscillators have common mean phase velocity (i.e., are frequency-locked) but different phases (i.e., they are phase-asynchronous). Solitary states are recorded for small values of the coupling strength, which grow into chimera states as the coupling strength increases. We determine parameter values where the combined effects of nonlocal and diagonal coupling generate chimera states with two different levels of synchronous domains mediated by asynchronous regions.
