Role of spontaneous bursts in functional plasticity and spatiotemporal dynamics of dissociated cortical cultures

What changes in our brain when we learn? This is perhaps the most intriguing question of science in this century. In an attempt to learn more about the inner workings of neural circuitry, I studied cultured 2-dimensional networks of neurons on multi-electrode arrays (MEAs). MEAs are ideal tools for...
