In the past, tetanic stimulation has been used in several different instances to induce changes in the firing patterns of neural networks in vitro. In this paper, we ran a new experimental campaign to verify if this protocol induced lasting changes and if those changes were predictable. We found out that our stimulation protocol led to...

Background: The brain is continuously targeted by a wealth of stimuli with complex spatio-temporal patterns and has presumably evolved in order to cope with those inputs in an optimal way. Previous studies investigating the response capabilities of either single neurons or intact sensory systems to external stimulation demonstrated that stimuli...

Behaviors, from simple to most complex, require a two-way interaction with the environment and the contribution of different brain areas depending on the orchestrated activation of neuronal assemblies. We used cultured networks coupled to MEAs (i.e. Micro Electrode Arrays) as a simplified model system to investigate the computational properties...
