Cover

Cover: Each image is a different visualization of a database of 1.7 million model neurons. Each pixel represents a single model neuron, and the color of that pixel represents the activity type of that model. The models differ in the maximal conductances of eight different types of voltage- and calcium-dependent channels. Each image is a single step in an optimization designed to reveal structure in the database. Top left image is the initial view, and the images get progressively more �orderly� as the optimization progresses. The final view (bottom right) reveals patterns in the mapping from maximal conductances to model activity that were not obvious a priori. For details, see Taylor AL, Hickey TJ, Prinz AA, and Marder E. Structure and visualization of high-dimensional conductance spaces. J Neurophysiol 96: 891�905, 2006. First published May 10, 2006; doi:10.1152/ jn.00367.2006.
