Neuronal activity has been shown to be essential for the proper formation of neuronal
circuits, affecting developmental processes like neurogenesis, migration, programmed cell …

The electrical activity of the brain does not only reflect the current level of arousal, ongoing
behavior, or involvement in a specific task but is also influenced by what kind of activity, and …

A large body of evidence from in vitro studies suggests that GABA is depolarizing during
early postnatal development. However, the mode of GABA action in the intact developing …

Spontaneous activity drives the establishment of appropriate connectivity in different circuits
during brain development. In the mouse primary visual cortex, two distinct patterns of …

In order to understand information processing in neural circuits, it is necessary to detect both
electrical and chemical signaling with high spatial and temporal resolution. Although the …

Diverse ion channels and their dynamics endow single neurons with complex biophysical
properties. These properties determine the heterogeneity of cell types that make up the …

Correlated spiking activity prevails in immature cortical networks and is believed to
contribute to neuronal circuit maturation; however, its spatiotemporal organization is not fully …

Adaptation is a fundamental computational motif in neural processing. To maintain stable
perception in the face of rapidly shifting input, neural systems must extract relevant …

Coordinated neuronal activity is essential for the development of cortical circuits. GABAergic
hub neurons that function in orchestrating early neuronal activity through a widespread net …

The measurement of activity in vivo and in vitro has shifted from electrical to optical methods.
While the indicators for imaging activity have improved significantly over the last decade …
