Excitatory-inhibitory branching process: A parsimonious view of cortical asynchronous states, excitability, and criticality

The branching process is the minimal model for propagation dynamics, avalanches, and criticality, broadly used in neuroscience. A simple extension of it, adding inhibitory nodes, induces a much-richer phenomenology, including an intermediate phase, between quiescence and saturation, that exhibits th...
