About the Cover
Cover: The ability of neuronal networks to change the connectivity between cells allows plasticity in how information is processed, and provides a mechanism for functions such as learning and memory (see article by M. A. Colicos and N. I. Syed, p. 2312). Using new technologies such as photoconductive stimulation, neural networks growing on silicon wafers can be stimulated with specific activity patterns, which produce changes in the distribution of synapse. Image shows an analysis of synaptic complexity, using paths of maximum entropy, represented by colored vectors and height overlaid on an image of the neural network itself. Complexity representation by A. Kertesz, digital finishing by M. A. Colicos.
