Heavy-tailed connections support robust neural communication
In the synaptic wiring between neurons, some rare connections are orders of magnitude stronger than most. This heavy-tailed connectivity is ubiquitous across different species, brain regions, and cell types, suggesting that it serves a general purpose for neural function. Here, we show, both analytically and in simulations, that heavy-tailed connections reduce communication errors in the presence…
