Conversion of spikers to bursters in pituitary cell networks: Is it better to disperse for maximum exposure or circle the wagons?
The endocrine cells of the pituitary gland are electrically active, and in vivo they form small networks where the bidirectional cell-cell coupling is through gap junctions. Numerous studies of dispersed pituitary cells have shown that typical behaviors are tonic spiking and bursting, the latter bei...
