Whether a network can oscillate can be estimated if we know the strength of interaction between nodes. But in real-world networks (in particular in biological networks) it is usually not possible to know the exact connection weights. Therefore, it is important to determine the structural properties of a network necessary to generate oscillations. Here, we provide a proof that uses dynamical system theory to prove that an odd number of inhibitory nodes and strong enough connections are necessary to generate oscillations in a single cycle threshold-linear network. We illustrate these analytical results in a biologically plausible network with either firing-rate based or spiking neurons. Our work provides structural properties necessary to generate oscillations in a network. We use this knowledge to reconcile recent experimental findings about oscillations in basal ganglia with classical findings.", "doi": "10.7554/eLife.88777", "pmid": "38477669", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC10937037"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "88777"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T13:55:23.747Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T13:55:23.866Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "58833333f12f43fa8d80edf8ded7a54a", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/58833333f12f43fa8d80edf8ded7a54a.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/58833333f12f43fa8d80edf8ded7a54a"}}, "title": "Structural constraints on the emergence of oscillations in multi-population neural networks", "authors": [{"family": "Zang", "given": "Jie", "initials": "J", "orcid": "0000-0003-2655-3343", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/cda7827b6ab3406cbfc0c38859c0fada.json"}}, {"family": "Liu", "given": "Shenquan", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Helson", "given": "Pascal", "initials": "P", "orcid": "0000-0002-2877-3705", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/0ee66ee661c64a4a89df82afceff2e11.json"}}, {"family": "Kumar", "given": "Arvind", "initials": "A", "orcid": "0000-0002-8044-9195", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/cf2fe30252074acb8d09f88f6c9b55f3.json"}}], "type": "journal-article", "published": "2024-03-13", "journal": {"issn": "2050-084X", "volume": "12", "title": "Elife", "issn-l": "2050-084X"}, "abstract": null, "doi": "10.7554/elife.88777.3", "pmid": null, "labels": [], "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2026-08-20T13:55:25.590Z", "modified": "2026-08-20T13:55:25.672Z"}]}
