Neocortical Neuronal Ensembles

Neocortical Neuronal Ensembles - Firing in neocortical networks appears to be dominated by a small population of highly active neurons. In this video abstract, Alison Barth and colleagues describe their analysis of the electrical properties of highly active neocortical pyramidal neurons, which suggests that interconnected neuronal ensembles in the neocortex may play a role in the encoding of sensory information.
