- We report a noise-memory induced phase transition in an array of oscillatory neural systems, which leads to the suppression of synchronous oscillations and restoration of excitable dynamics. This phenomenon is caused by the systematic contributions of temporally correlated parametric noise, i.e., possessing a memory, which stabilizes a deterministically unstable fixed point. Changing the noise correlation time, a reentrant phase transition to noise- induced excitability is observed in a globally coupled array. Since noise-induced excitability implies the restoration of the ability to transmit information, associated spatiotemporal patterns are observed afterwards. Furthermore, an analytic approach to predict the systematic effects of exponentially correlated noise is presented and its results are compared with the simulations
