Noise-induced single spatial coherence resonance (CR) and multiple spatial CRs simulated in a network have been reported independently in previous studies. In this paper, the relationship between the single and multiple spatial CRs is established by adjusting the initial values of the network composed of Morris–Lecar (ML) model neurons. The ML model manifests a saddle-node bifurcation on an invariant cycle through which a resting state is changed to a stable limit cycle corresponding to period-1 firing. Under resting state, a stable node, a saddle, and an unstable focus coexist. The membrane potential of the unstable focus is much higher than that of the stable node. When the initial value is closer to the unstable focus, the residence time of membrane potential on a high level is longer; correspondingly, the spatial CRs appear more frequently with respect to noise intensity and the coherence degree becomes stronger. The single spatial CR is induced by noise with high intensity. Multiple spatial CRs are induced by noise with high, middle, and even low noise intensities, respectively. When the initial values are closer to an unstable focus, the residence time of membrane potentials on a higher level is longer, which is important to the generation of multiple CRs, and builds a relationship between single and multiple spatial CRs.

Spiral waves were observed in the biological experiment on rat brain cortex with the application of carbachol and bicuculline which can block inhibitory coupling from interneurons to pyramidal neurons. To simulate the experimental spiral waves, a two-dimensional neuronal network composed of pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons was built. By decreasing the percentage of active inhibitory interneurons, the random-like spatial patterns change to spiral waves and to random-like spatial patterns or nearly synchronous behaviors. The spiral waves appear at a low percentage of inhibitory interneurons, which matches the experimental condition that inhibitory couplings of the interneurons were blocked. The spiral waves exhibit a higher order or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) characterized by spatial structure function than both random-like spatial patterns and nearly synchronous behaviors, which shows that changes of the percentage of active inhibitory interneurons can induce spatial coherence resonance-like behaviors. In addition, the relationship between the coherence degree and the spatial structures of the spiral waves is identified. The results not only present a possible and reasonable interpretation to the spiral waves observed in the biological experiment on the brain cortex with disinhibition, but also reveal that the spiral waves exhibit more ordered degree in spatial patterns.

We study the phenomenon of spatial coherence resonance (SCR) on Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) neuronal networks that are characterized with information transmission delay. In particular, we examine the ability of additive Gaussian noise to optimally extract a particular spatial frequency of excitatory waves in diffusive and small-world networks on which information transmission amongst directly connected neurons is not instantaneous. On diffusively coupled HH networks, we find that for short delay lengths, there always exists an intermediate noise level by which the noise-induced spatial dynamics is maximally ordered, hence implying the possibility of SCR in the system. Importantly thereby, the noise level warranting optimally ordered excitatory waves increases linearly with the increasing delay time, suggesting that extremely long delays might nevertheless preclude the observation of SCR on diffusive networks. Moreover, we find that the small-world topology introduces another obstacle for the emergence of ordered spatial dynamics out of noise because the magnitude of SCR fades progressively as the fraction of rewired links increases, hence evidencing decoherence of noise-induced spatial dynamics on delayed small-world HH networks. Presented results thus provide insights that could facilitate the understanding of the joint impact of noise and information transmission delay on realistic neuronal networks.
