Network bursting dynamics in excitatory cortical neuron cultures results from the combination of different adaptive mechanisms.

In the brain, synchronization among cells of an assembly is a common phenomenon, and thought to be functionally relevant. Here we used an in vitro experimental model of cell assemblies, cortical cultures, combined with numerical simulations of a spiking neural network (SNN) to investigate how and wh...
