Abstract
Bi-dimensional networks of dissociated neurons developing in vitro and coupled to Micro-Electrode Arrays devices (MEAs) represent a valid experimental model for studying the universal mechanisms governing the formation and conservation of neuronal cell assemblies (Marom and Shahaf in Q Rev Biophys 35(1):63–87, 2002).
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
