Developing networks follow common rules to shift from silent cells to coactive networks that
operate via thousands of synapses. This review deals with some of these rules and in …

Mathematical models of biological systems often have components that vary on different
timescales. This multi-timescale character can lead to problems when doing computer …

At specific stages of development, nerve and muscle cells generate spontaneous electrical
activity that is required for normal maturation of intrinsic excitability and synaptic connectivity …

Recent studies have focused attention on mechanisms of spontaneous large-scale wavelike
activity during early development of the neocortex. In this study, we describe and …

Hippocampal population discharges such as sharp waves, epileptiform firing, and GDPs
recur at long and variable intervals. The mechanisms for their precise timing are not well …

Spontaneous network activity (SNA) has been described in most developing circuits,
including the spinal cord, retina, and hippocampus. Despite the widespread nature of this …

Mammalian spinal motoneurons are considered to be output elements of the spinal cord that
generate exclusively cholinergic actions on Renshaw cells, their intraspinal synaptic targets …

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) functions, such as working memory, attention selection, and memory
retrieval, depend critically on dopamine and NMDA receptor activation by way of an inverted …

Developing neural networks follow common trends such as expression of spontaneous,
recurring activity patterns, and appearance of neuromodulation. How these processes …
