A model of activity-dependent formation of cerebellar microzones.

abstract：:The response of a healthy lateral eye of Limulus to constant, uniform and sufficiently intense light stimulation, consists of a sustained oscillatory discharge, all ommatidia firing synchronously in bursts, at intervals of about 0.2s (Barlow and Fraioli, 1978). This response has been analysed by a computer simulation,...
