An example of an entire burst of the network (upper panel) recorded by the multi-electrode array and the patch-clamp membrane potential (lower panel). The network burst lasts for about 2 seconds and is composed of several shorter bursts separated by silent periods of no activity of the network. The membrane potential of the patched neuron is above its baseline membrane potential (~−75 mV) during the entire burst of the network, however, the evoked spikes occur mainly during the silence periods of the network. We hypothesize this type of anti-correlation indicates another feature where a single neuron reflects the network cooperative activity, originates from inhibition, but its understanding requires further research.
