In recent years self organized critical neuronal models have provided insights regarding the
origin of the experimentally observed avalanching behavior of neuronal systems. It has been …

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 …

Criticality signatures, in the form of power-law distributed neuronal avalanches, have been
widely measured in vitro and provide the foundation for the so-called critical brain …

Recent experiments have detected a novel form of spontaneous neuronal activity both in
vitro and in vivo: neuronal avalanches. The statistical properties of this activity are typical of …

Neuronal avalanches measured in vitro and in vivo in different cortical networks consistently
exhibit power law behaviour for the size and duration distributions with exponents typical for …

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

The tasks of neural computation are remarkably diverse. To function optimally, neuronal
networks have been hypothesized to operate near a nonequilibrium critical point. However …

Observations of neurons in a resting brain and neurons in cultures often display
spontaneous scale-free (SF) collective dynamics in the form of information cascades, also …

Critical behavior in neural networks is characterized by scale-free avalanche size
distributions and can be explained by self-regulatory mechanisms. Theoretical and …

Spontaneous brain activity has been recently characterized by avalanche dynamics with
critical features for systems in vitro and in vivo. In this contribution we present a review of …
