Journal · Delays and plasticity
Delay selection by spike-timing-dependent plasticity shapes efficient networks for signal transmission
Ghadiri A, Taghavi S, Rezaei H, Aertsen A, Kumar A, Valizadeh A
Journal of Neuroscience, 2026
STDP prunes inter-layer connections with distributed conduction delays and keeps those compatible with propagating activity.
2026
Journal · Rhythms and entrainment
Inhibitory synaptic timescales drive oscillatory regime transitions in recurrent excitatory-inhibitory networks
Kheiri S, Taghavi S, Valizadeh A, Perc M
Physical Review Research 8, 023251 (2026)
Inhibitory synaptic timescales drive transitions between oscillatory regimes in recurrent E–I networks.
2025
Journal · Rhythms and entrainment
Tuning the brain rhythms: How internal coherence influences network entrainment by tACS
Taghavi S, Susi G, Maestú F, Valizadeh A
Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 201, 117421 (2025)
AdEx E/I networks in NEST driven by tACS. The Arnold tongue widens when endogenous synchrony is low.
2025
Thesis · Several themes
Modeling the dynamics of excitatory-inhibitory networks and their response to alternating current stimulation
Taghavi S
PhD thesis in Physics, Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS), Zanjan, 2025
Chapter 4 is the tACS entrainment study. The repository holds the LaTeX source, every figure and the Makefile that builds them.

Abstract · Synchrony on networks
Local phase synchronization and clustering for delayed phase coupled oscillators in k-nearest-neighbors network
Taghavi S, Madadi Asl M, Valizadeh A
Conference abstract, ICTP, 2024
Kuramoto oscillators on a ring, each coupled to its k nearest neighbours with distance-dependent delays. Competing delays break the translational symmetry of the ring, and clusters of synchronised oscillators emerge.
2015
Journal · Astrophysics
Galactic orbital motions of star clusters: static versus semicosmological time-dependent Galactic potentials
Haghi H, Hasani Zonoozi A, Taghavi S
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 450, 2812–2821 (2015)
Orbits integrated back 13 Gyr in a static and in a growing Milky Way potential. A static potential overestimates the mass loss and dissolution of globular clusters and underestimates their final sizes.
