title: Representation and learning in neuronal networks: a conceptual nervous system approach.
abstract: The work presented in this review describes the use of large cortical networks developing ex vivo, in a culture dish, to study principles underlying synchronization, adaptation, learning, and representation in neuronal assemblies. The motivation to study neuronal networks ex vivo is outlined together with a short description of recent results in this field. Following a short description of the experimental system, a set of basic results will be presented that concern self-organization of activity, dynamical and functional properties of neurons and networks in response to external stimulation. This short review ends with an outline of future questions and research directions.
