Cellular imaging of visual cortex reveals the spatial and functional organization of spontaneous activity

The cerebral cortex is never silent; even in primary sensory areas there is ongoing neural activity in the absence of sensory input. Correlations in spontaneous activity can provide clues about network structure, but it has been difficult to record from enough nearby neurons to sample these correlat...
