A role for correlated spontaneous activity in the assembly of neural circuits
2013, NeuronCitation Excerpt :This evoked, correlated activity alternates between left and right sides of the spinal cord and is thought to contribute to the development of locomotion, which shows similar alternating activity patterns. Correlated spontaneous depolarizations of motoneurons are thought to drive early spontaneous limb movements of developing embryos (Blumberg et al., 2013; Crisp et al., 2011, 2008), a phenomenon that was first observed several decades ago (Hamburger and Balaban, 1963; Ripley and Provine, 1972). In addition, SNA has been implicated in several aspects of spinal cord circuit development, including axon pathfinding, changes in connectivity, cellular excitability, maturation of synaptic strength, and possibly functional circuit refinement (reviewed in Wenner, 2012).
Prenatal methylazoxymethanol exposure alters evoked responses in fetal rats
2004, Neurotoxicology and TeratologyIn the trenches with Viktor Hamburger and Rita Levi-Montalcini (1965-1974): One student's perspective
2001, International Journal of Developmental NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :I discovered massive bursts of synchronized neuronal firing within the ventral part of the spinal cord that swept through the cord's rostro-caudal axis (Provine, 1971, 1972a). These remarkable and previously undescribed discharges were synchronized with embryonic movements and bursts of activity in peripheral motor nerves (Provine et al., 1973; Ripley and Provine, 1972). As inferred by previous behavioral work by Viktor and colleagues, these bursts of spinal electrical activity develop in embryos with chronic spinal transections performed at early developmental stages; they do not require brain input for either their development or maintenance (Provine and Rogers, 1977).
