Abstract
⺠The brain displays considerable spontaneous activity. ⺠Neurons do not respond only to external inputs, but the response is also a function of the spontaneous activity. ⺠The paper reviews intracellular and modeling evidence for this phenomenon. ⺠A scheme is proposed to reconcile apparently conflicting results. ⺠It is concluded that spontaneous activity should be an integral part of brain computations.
