Cover Picture: Artistic rendering of the relationship between single spikes (white) and spike bursts under physiological observations. The image imitates a music score generated by the spikes of hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Occurrence of bursts (colored patterns) in pyramidal neurons requires previous non-spiking periods. The temporal relationship between single spikes and bursts is hypothesized to regulate the efficacy of synaptic inputs to pyramidal neurons. See the article by Buzsáki et al., pp. 893-899.
