The synchrony in complex networks is strongly affected by the topology of the networks, such as a regular lattice, random, small-world (SW), or scale-free (SF) structure, which lies as the foundation of diverse dynamics observed in naturally occurring complex networks, such as the central nervous system (Feldt et al., 2011). For instance, the hippocampal network during development follows a SF topology, and its hub nodes shapes synchronous activity in the network (Bonifazi et al., 2009). The developing cerebellum, in contrast, takes a regular connectivity, and its activity pattern is characterized by traveling waves (Watt et al., 2009). Theoretically, the effect of topology on synchrony has been studied extensively for single networks (Arenas et al., 2008; Rodrigues et al., 2016; Yamamoto et al., 2016). For example, in a single network of heterogeneous phase oscillators, the degree of phase synchrony increases as a regular lattice is rewired to SW and random networks (Hong et al., 2002). The effects of SW rewiring on networks has also been studied on integrate-and-fire neurons, and Netoff et al. (2004) investigated different types of synchronized activity depending
