State-dependent representation of stimulus-evoked activity in high-density recordings of neural cultures

Abstract Neuronal responses to external stimuli vary from trial to trial partly because they depend on continuous spontaneous variations of the state of neural circuits, reflected in variations of ongoing activity prior to stimulus presentation. Understanding how post-stimulus responses relate to th...
