Recent experiments have observed a dynamical state characterized by so-called neural
avalanches in different neural systems, such as networks of cultured neurons [1], the …

Neuronal avalanches are a novel mode of activity in neuronal networks, experimentally
found in vitro and in vivo, and exhibit a robust critical behaviour. Avalanche activity can be …

It has long been argued that neural networks have to establish and maintain a certain
intermediate level of activity in order to keep away from the regimes of chaos and silence …

Recently evidence has accumulated that many neural networks exhibit self-organized
criticality. In this state, activity is similar across temporal scales and this is beneficial with …

Networks of living neurons exhibit an avalanche mode of activity, experimentally found in
organotypic cultures. Moreover, experimental studies of morphology indicate that neurons …

Neurons in areas that are not strongly driven by sensory input often fluctuate between two
very different states: up and down. These marked fluctuations are predominantly observed in …

Neuronal avalanches represent one important way in which the network dynamics of neural
systems may be propagated. Experiments utilizing multi-channel recordings of neural …

Neuronal avalanches are a novel mode of activity in neuronal networks, experimentally
found in vitro and in vivo, and exhibit a robust critical behavior: these avalanches are …

Experiments in various neural systems found avalanches: bursts of activity with
characteristics typical for critical dynamics. A possible explanation for their occurrence is an …

Recent experimental results have evidenced that neuronal systems in vitro and in vivo
exhibit a novel form of spontaneous activity, neuronal avalanches. These are bursts of firing …
