Brain function must manifest in the spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity.  What’s the secret?  How can we crack the code?  We discuss two properties of brain systems that may be key: the recent finding that neocortical slice cultures show what is called critical homeostasis, and the very old and well known finding that the intact brain shows oscillations.  Critical homeostasis addresses the spatial connectivity-related aspects of these patterns, while oscillations address the temporal patterns.  Disorders of critical homeostasis and abnormal oscillations may result in neurological disorders including epilepsy, mental retardation and movement disorders
