# Organization (Networks & Collective Dynamics)

1. Networks:
   - Simple biological modules:
     - Transcription regulation; lac operon
     - Genetic switches
     - Signal transduction
     - Repressilator: a simple clock
   - Statistics of complex networks:
     - Random (Erdös-Rényi) networks
     - Percolation, diameter, degree distribution
     - Scale free networks, construction and properties
2. Dynamics on networks:
   - Fixed points and stability
     - Hopfield neural network
   - Cycles
     - The Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction
     - Biological clocks (animations from HMMI: The Drosophila Molecular Clock Model)
     - Synchronization (applet)
3. Biological patterns:
   - Turing instability
   - Cortical patterns
