We design and analyze the dynamics of a large network of theta neurons, which are idealized type I neurons. The network is heterogeneous in that it includes both inherently spiking and excitable neurons. The coupling is global, via pulselike synapses of adjustable sharpness. Using recently developed analytical methods, we identify all possible asymptotic states that can be exhibited by a mean field variable that captures the network's macroscopic state. These consist of two equilibrium states that reflect partial synchronization in the network and a limit cycle state in which the degree of network synchronization oscillates in time. Our approach also permits a complete bifurcation analysis, which we carry out with respect to parameters that capture the degree of excitability of the neurons, the heterogeneity in the population, and the coupling strength (which can be excitatory or inhibitory). We find that the network typically tends toward the two macroscopic equilibrium states when the neuron's intrinsic dynamics and the network interactions reinforce one another. In contrast, the limit cycle state, bifurcations, and multistability tend to occur when there is competition among these network features. Finally, we show that our results are exhibited by finite network realizations of reasonable size.

This chapter begins the argument that the best way to understand the relations of relative autonomy between theories at different scales is through a mesoscale hydrodynamic description of many-body systems. It focuses on the evolution of conserved quantities of those systems in near, but out of equilibrium states. A relatively simple example is presented of a system of spins where the magnetization is the conserved quantity of interest. The chapter introduces the concepts of order parameters, of local quantities, and explains why we should be focused on the gradients of densities that inhabit the mesoscale between the scale of the continuum and that of the atomic. It introduces the importance of correlation functions and linear response.
