Abstract:
Partial synchronization patterns play an important role in the functioning of neuronal
networks, both in pathological and in healthy states. They include chimera states, which consist of
spatially coexisting domains of coherent (synchronized) and incoherent (desynchronized) dynam-
ics, and other complex patterns. In this perspective article we show that partial synchronization
scenarios are governed by a delicate interplay of local dynamics and network topology. Our focus
is in particular on applications of brain dynamics like unihemispheric sleep and epileptic seizure.
