==雪崩的含义 Implications of avalanches==

==雪崩的影响==
When a tunable system operates in a regime where it produces power law distributions, it is said to be operating at the [[Self-Organized Criticality|critical point]]. Strictly speaking, only infinitely large systems can operate at the critical point, but here the term “critical” is used to describe behavior in finite systems that would approach criticality if they were extended to unlimited sizes. The power law avalanche size distribution has potential implications for information processing in neural networks in these four areas:
 
  
* ''Information transmission.'' When neural networks are tuned to the critical point, they have optimal information transmission (Beggs and Plenz, 2003; Bertschinger and Natschlager, 2004; Kinouchi and Copelli, 2006), because there is a balance between strong signal propagation and resistance to saturation.
+
当一个可调谐系统运行在一个产生幂律分布的系统中时,它被说成是运行在临界点。严格地说,只有无限大的系统才能在临界点上运行,但这里的"临界"一词是用来描述有限系统的行为,如果它们被扩展到无限大,就会接近临界点。幂律雪崩大小分布对这四个领域的神经网络的信息处理有潜在的影响。
* '' Information storage.'' When a recurrent network based on a branching process is tuned to the critical point, the number of significantly repeating avalanche patterns is maximized (Haldeman and Beggs, 2005). At the critical point, there is a mixture of strong and weak connections, allowing for a variety of independently stable patterns of activity.
+
* ''信息传输''。当神经网络调整到临界点时,它们具有最佳的信息传输(Beggs和Plenz,2003;Bertschinger和Natschlager,2004;Kinouchi和Copelli,2006),因为在强信号传播和抗饱和之间存在平衡。
* ''Computational power.'' By changing the variance in synaptic weights in a [[spiking network]] model, Bertschinger and Natschlager (Bertschinger and Natschlager 2004) were able to produce networks that showed damped, sustained, and expanding activity. These regimes correspond to subcritical, critical, and supercritical dynamics respectively. They found that networks tuned to the critical point performed more effectively on a broad range of computational tasks than networks that were tuned to have either subcritical or supercritical dynamics.
+
* ''信息存储''。当一个基于分支过程的递归网络被调整到临界点时,显著重复的雪崩模式的数量被最大化(Haldeman和Beggs,2005)。在临界点,存在着强连接和弱连接的混合,允许各种独立稳定的活动模式。
* ''Stability.'' When a recurrent, branching network model is tuned to the critical point, it produces largely parallel trajectories, meaning that the network is at the edge of [[stability]] (Bertschinger and Natschlager, 2004; Haldeman and Beggs, 2005). In this case, trajectories are still stable and yet are controllable with minor corrective inputs.
+
* ''计算能力。''通过改变尖峰网络模型中突触重量的变化,Bertschinger和Natschlager(Bertschinger和Natschlager 2004)能够产生显示出衰减、持续和扩张活动的网络。这些区域分别对应于亚临界、临界和超临界动力学。他们发现,在广泛的计算任务中,调谐到临界点的网络比调谐到亚临界或超临界动态的网络更有效。
 +
* ''稳定性。''当一个循环分支网络模型被调整到临界点时,它产生的轨迹基本上是平行的,这意味着该网络处于稳定的边缘(Bertschinger和Natschlager,2004;Haldeman和Beggs,2005)。在这种情况下,轨迹仍然是稳定的,但可以通过较小的校正输入进行控制。
  
Optimizing all of these information processing tasks may occur simultaneously when a network operates near the critical point, where neuronal avalanches occur.
+
当网络在发生神经雪崩的临界点附近运行时,可以同时优化所有这些信息处理任务。

图1:数据表示的示意图。超过三个标准差的局部场电位(LFPs)用黑色方块表示。
图2:急性皮层切片中的神经雪崩。

神经雪崩神经元网络中的一连串爆发性活动,其大小分布可以用幂律来近似,如临界沙堆模型(Bak等人,1987)。神经雪崩见于培养的和急性皮质切片(Beggs和Plenz,2003;2004)。在这些新皮层切片中,活动的特点是持续几十毫秒的短暂爆发,中间有几秒钟的静止期。当用多电极阵列观察时,在爆发期间被驱动超过阈值的电极数量近似于幂律分布。虽然这种现象具有高度的稳定性和可重复性,但它与完整大脑中的生理过程的关系目前还不清楚。

实验观察

图3:雪崩示例。显示了7个帧,其中每个帧代表电极阵列在一个4毫秒的时间布长中的活动。雪崩是一系列连续的活动帧,开始和结束均是空白帧。雪崩的大小是由活动电极的总数决定的。这里显示的雪崩的大小为9。

幂律尺寸分布

这个片段说明,多通道数据可以被分解为没有活动的帧和至少有一个活动电极的帧,这些电极可能接收来自几个神经元的活动。由非活动帧包围的连续活动帧序列可以称为雪崩。所示的雪崩例子的大小为9,因为这是被驱动超过阈值的电极总数。雪崩大小的分布方式几乎符合幂律分布。由于阵列中的电极数量有限,幂律在阵列大小为60之前就开始向下弯曲切断,但是对于更大的电极阵列,可以看到幂律会延伸得更远。

图4:雪崩尺寸分布。 A,用60个电极阵列记录的急性切片局部场电位的大小分布,以对数空间绘制。实际数据显示为黑色,而泊松模型的输出显示为红色。在泊松模型中,每个电极的发射速度与实际数据中看到的相同,但独立于所有其他电极。注意这两条曲线之间的巨大差异。实际数据在1-35的尺寸下几乎是一条直线;在这一点之后,存在由电极阵列大小引起的截止。直线表示幂律,表明网络在临界点附近运行(未发表的数据由W. Chen, C. Haldeman, S. Wang, A. Tang, J.M. Beggs记录)。 B,尖峰的雪崩大小分布可以用概率超过三个数量级的直线近似,没有A组中看到的尖锐的截止点。数据是用512个电极阵列从浸泡在高钾和零镁的急性皮层切片中收集的(A. Litke, S. Sher, M. Grivich, D. Petrusca, S. Kachiguine, J. M. Beggs未发表的工作)。峰值以-3个标准差设定阈值,并且未进行分类。数据在1.2ms时合并,以匹配60μm的短电极间距离。从培养基中记录的皮层切片培养中也获得了类似于A和B的结果。

幂律分布的公式是:

[math]\displaystyle{ P(S)=kS^{-\alpha}\, }[/math]

其中[math]\displaystyle{ P(S) }[/math]是观察到大小为[math]\displaystyle{ S }[/math]的雪崩的概率,[math]\displaystyle{ \alpha }[/math]是给出对数图中幂律斜率的指数,[math]\displaystyle{ k }[/math]是比例常数。对于切片培养实验,局部场电位雪崩的大小分布的指数[math]\displaystyle{ \alpha\approx 1.5 }[/math],但在不同阵列的尖峰记录中,指数[math]\displaystyle{ \alpha\approx2.1 }[/math]。指数差异背后的原因仍在探索中。需要注意的是,如果每个电极上的活动是独立驱动的,则幂律分布不是预期的分布。非耦合类泊松过程的集合将导致事件大小的指数分布。此外,虽然神经科学多年来在单个时间序列数据的时间相关性中报告了幂律(例如,脑电图的功率谱(Linkenkaer-Hansen等人,2001;Worrell等人,2002),峰值计数统计中的FanoAllan因子(Teich等人,1997),神经递质分泌时间(Lowen等人,1997),离子通道波动(Toib等人,1998),神经元培养中的爆发间期(Segev等人,2002)),从多电极数据中观察到的相互作用中未观察到。因此,神经雪崩是从分布式网络中的集体过程中产生的。

雪崩的影响

当一个可调谐系统运行在一个产生幂律分布的系统中时,它被说成是运行在临界点。严格地说,只有无限大的系统才能在临界点上运行,但这里的"临界"一词是用来描述有限系统的行为,如果它们被扩展到无限大,就会接近临界点。幂律雪崩大小分布对这四个领域的神经网络的信息处理有潜在的影响。

  • 信息传输。当神经网络调整到临界点时,它们具有最佳的信息传输(Beggs和Plenz,2003;Bertschinger和Natschlager,2004;Kinouchi和Copelli,2006),因为在强信号传播和抗饱和之间存在平衡。

当网络在发生神经雪崩的临界点附近运行时,可以同时优化所有这些信息处理任务。

神经雪崩与其他系统的关系

Power law distributions of event sizes are often seen in complex phenomena including earthquakes, phase transitions, percolation, forest fires, financial market fluctuations, avalanches in the game of life and a host of others (Bak, 1996). In some specific cases, this similarity appears to be more than superficial. For example, earthquake models incorporate local rules in which forces at one site are distributed to nearest neighbors without dissipation. This conservation of forces is similar to the conservation of probabilities in the critical branching model described above. This suggests that conservation of synaptic strengths, as reported in (Royer and Pare, 2003) could be a mechanism responsible for maintaining a network near the critical point. In a related idea, simulations indicate that networks can be kept nearly critical when the total sum of synaptic strengths hovers near a constant value (Hsu and Beggs, 2006). This could be accomplished through a mechanism like synaptic scaling (Turrigiano and Nelson, 2000), which has been observed experimentally. Finally, recently "burned" areas in forest fire models are refractory, while unburned areas are more likely to ignite. This balance of refractoriness and excitability combine to maintain the system near the critical point. Recent models of neuronal avalanches (Levina, Herrmann and Geisel, 2005) have suggested that short-term synaptic depression and facilitation may also serve to drive neuronal networks toward the critical point where avalanches occur. Thus, an understanding of power laws in diverse complex systems can suggest mechanisms that might underlie criticality in neuronal networks.

图8:在电容耦合霓虹灯的二维晶格中对雪崩产生的实验观察。

A simple electronic model of avalanche generation consists of a two-dimensional array of neon lamps, each one connected to a resistor towards a global DC control voltage and capacitively coupled to its von Neumann neighbors. Neon lamps possess rich dynamical properties: as the applied voltage changes, the transition between the "on" and "off" phases is at the same time significantly hysteretic and stochastic (Dance, 1968). The system displays two phases, [math]\displaystyle{ I }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ II }[/math], respectively characterized by low and high event rate and spatiotemporal order: the transition between them is strongly hysteretic, hence unequivocally first-order. Nevertheless, close to the spinal point of the [math]\displaystyle{ I\rightarrow II }[/math] transition, critical precursors emerge in the form of avalanches (Fig. 8) having the same scaling exponents characterizing neural activity, namely [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha\approx3/2 }[/math] for size and [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha\approx2 }[/math] for duration (Minati et al., 2016).
