Synaptic signal streams generated by ex vivo neuronal networks contain non‐random, complex patterns

Abstract: Cultured embryonic neurons develop functional networks that transmit synaptic signals over multiple sequentially connected neurons as revealed by multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) embedded within the culture dish. Signal streams of ex vivo networks contain spikes and bursts of varying amplitude and duration. Despite the random interactions inherent in dissociated cultures, neurons are capable of establishing functional ex vivo networks that transmit signals among synaptically connected neurons, undergo development… Show more

“…Despite the random synaptogenesis inherent in dissociated cultures, ex vivo neuronal networks neurons retain the ability to transmit information in an organized manner [13]. Notably, synaptic signals are comprised of multiple all -or -none signals and therefore are inherently digital.…”

“…Following advancements in pathway annotation from PDBs, topology of the underlying networks of pathways has been made publicly available through different databases, following immediate integration into PA methodologies. This was greatly encouraged by the increased attention network theory had in life sciences (Amaral and Ottino, 2004 ; Emmert-Streib and Dehmer, 2011 ).…”

“…Limitations to PTB methodologies are hard to address as they portray a change in one of the current paradigms in life sciences. Life components do not work isolated, functioning by their own, they rather do so in precise concert to accomplish life functions, and their behavior as a whole system is dynamic, adaptable and robust (Hartwell et al, 1999 ; Tononi et al, 1999 ; Amaral and Ottino, 2004 ). In summary, life is a complex system.…”
