Adaptive Networks with Chaotic Units
Studying how connection density shapes synchronization, integration, and modular organization in adaptive dynamical networks.

- Figure 1. Evolution of the adaptive network over time. As the network co-evolves with node dynamics, mesoscale organization emerges, leading to a balance between segregation and integration [Plüss and Gleiser (2025)].
- Figure 2. Qualitative comparison with empirical connectome organization across species (C. elegans, Drosophila, mouse, macaque, and human) [van den Heuvel et al. (2016)].
We study how connection density shapes synchronization, integration, and modular organization in adaptive dynamical networks. In this project, connectivity evolves jointly with node dynamics, giving rise to transitions from fragmented, desynchronized regimes to globally integrated yet modular synchronized states.
