Perspectives

Sam A. Deadwyler, Robert E. Hampson

The brain represents information in a distributed code, carried by action potentials in ensembles of neurons. Ensemble activity can now be monitored by multielectrode arrays in behaving animals. Deadwyler and Hampson describe recent results that illustrate how the brain may code behavior in ensembles of neurons.
