| It is thus legitimate to ask why not all deep SC neurons are multisensory or, at least, develop multisensory behavior during an organism’s maturation. | |
18 Citations | These results may explain why only 40% of the sensory neurons survived in tissue culture in the absence of neurotrophic factors. |
| We conclude that, to date, little is known with certainty about why new neurons are generated in the adult brain. | |
124 Citations | Pioneer neurons may resolve similar problems in many systems. |
430 Citations | Our observations indicate that there is reasonable agreement between many of the responses of isolated neurons and those studied in in vivo and in vitro slice and culture preparations. |
| To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time learning of arbitrarily chosen tasks, in networks composed of real cortical neurons, is demonstrated outside of the body. |
