Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience

Caption

Ongoing spontaneous activity visualized with calcium imaging shows highly dynamic distributed patches of network activity spanning millimeters across the cortical surface. Trace at the top shows activity (change in calcium signal) for a single pixel located at center of the blue box. Video frames are shown in real time, scale bar: 1mm.
