title: A prestabilized harmony.
abstract: The appearance of discontinuous network events and their transformation into continuous oscillatory activity are fundamental milestones in cortical circuit development. In this issue, Brockmann et al. demonstrate a protracted development of activity patterns in the prefrontal cortex in neonatal rats and a possible role for hippocampal theta bursts in the maturation of PFC connectivity.
