Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

Patterned, spontaneous activity occurs in many developing neural circuits, including the
retina, the cochlea, the spinal cord, the cerebellum and the hippocampus, where it provides …

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 …

We survey recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of
continuum neural fields. Neural fields model the large-scale dynamics of spatially structured …

Understanding the origin, nature, and functional significance of complex patterns of neural
activity, as recorded by diverse electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques, is a …

Slow oscillatory activity (< 1 Hz) is observed in vivo in the cortex during slow-wave sleep or
under anesthesia and in vitro when the bath solution is chosen to more closely mimic …

This text is an introduction to dynamical modeling in cell biology. It is not meant as a
complete overview of modeling or of particular models in cell biology. Rather, we use …

In the idling brain, neuronal circuits transition between periods of sustained firing (UP state)
and quiescence (DOWN state), a pattern the mechanisms of which remain unclear. Here we …

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 …

In hippocampal slice models of epilepsy, two behaviors are seen: short bursts of electrical
activity lasting 100 msec and seizure-like electrical activity lasting seconds. The bursts …
