Self-Organization in Synaptogenesis: Interaction Between the Formation of Excitatory and Inhibitory Synapses

  • Conference paper
Synergetics of the Brain

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 23))

Abstract

Nervous systems cannot adequately be described as randomly connected networks consisting of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, because neuron populations and even single neurons show highly diverse connectivities. Many neuron populations never get a chance to form synaptic connections with each other, while for other neurons the probability of forming synapses with other neurons rises continously during ontogenesis.
