Polychronization: computation with spikes
EM Izhikevich - Neural computation, 2006 - direct.mit.edu
We present a minimal spiking network that can polychronize, that is, exhibit reproducible
time-locked but not synchronous firing patterns with millisecond precision, as in synfire …

Functional imaging with cellular resolution reveals precise micro-architecture in visual cortex
K Ohki, S Chung, YH Ch'ng, P Kara, RC Reid - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
Neurons in the cerebral cortex are organized into anatomical columns, with ensembles of
cells arranged from the surface to the white matter. Within a column, neurons often share …

Spontaneous events outline the realm of possible sensory responses in neocortical populations
Neocortical assemblies produce complex activity patterns both in response to sensory
stimuli and spontaneously without sensory input. To investigate the structure of these …
