Cover Picture

Neuronal avalanches in the awake brain a power law in sizes that grows with the area of cortex observed, a hallmark of criticality (see chapter 02 for details).

Background: Cultured pyramidal neurons from the mammalian brain expressing a genetically encoded calcium indicator to study neuronal avalanches.

From Plenz, NIMH.
