. Local neural assembly activity captured in the somatosensory cortex using 2-photon calcium imaging. Active neurons appear yellow; the circular cell bodies can be seen along with neural processes (dendrites and axons). The dimensions of the figure are 400 µm x 400 µm.

Local and global brain activity dynamics are coordinated, but only during conscious states

Cortical assemblies, groups of neurons which tend to coactivate together, are considered to be fundamental units of…
