    • Main Results:

    • Increased randomness in connections leads to enhanced synchronization of chaotic burst-firings.
    • An optimal level of randomness was found to produce the most pronounced spatiotemporal patterns.
    • Higher coupling strength shifted the optimal randomness to lower values.
    • Random connections were shown to mitigate chaos and promote synchronization.

    Conclusions:

    • Random long-range connections can effectively control chaos in neural networks, facilitating synchronization.
    • The findings suggest a significant role for random connections in biological information transfer, potentially applicable to hypothalamic neurons.
    • Optimal randomness is key for achieving pronounced spatiotemporal patterns in neural dynamics.
