Description
Summary:Highlights • We examined how self-organized criticality (SoC) evolves during development. • High-density microelectrode arrays offer robust sampling of immature neuronal activity. • Synchrony was featured by an exponential distribution, then a bimodal distribution, and finally a power-law distribution. • The diversity of spatiotemporal patterns varied for different distributions. • Thus, SoC is likely to evolve through “integration-then-fragmentation” developmental processes.
