How the spatial arrangement of inhibitory connections influences criticality in neural networks

Caption

(A) Neural activity patterns under different inhibitory network structures. (B) Three examples from (A) representing supercritical, near-critical, and subcritical activity. These images show how longer-inhibitory connections shift neural activity from supercritical to subcritical behavior.
