Cover

Cover: A partial image of two adjacent unidimensional dissociated hippocampal cultures. The full length of each culture is 1.7 cm, and their width is less than 0.2 mm. Spontaneous network activity is driven by localized areas where population bursts initiate and from which they propagate, relayed across thousands of neurons, to excite the full culture. Imposing linear network connectivity simplifies the study of spontaneous burst initiation zones-their composition and the way they compete to shape global activity patterns. For details see Feinerman O, Segal M, and Moses E. Identification and dynamics of spontaneous burst initiation zones in unidimensional neuronal cultures. J Neurophysiol 97: 2937�2948, 2007. First published February 7, 2007; doi:10.1152/jn.00958.2006.
