The fourth series included 1044 Polish men (age range, 55 66 years; mean age, 60.1 years), who participated in population colonoscopy screening programme for colorectal cancer between 2005 and 2010, and provided blood samples for DNA analysis (771 men were from Szczecin, 189 from Białystok and 84 from Łodz).

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.04378.024 Analysis of firing pattern shows that CNQX caused a permanent reduction in the fraction of spikes participating in population bursts, as well as in the number of spikes comprising population bursts, reflecting a reduction in firing synchrony.
Despite a high response rate, our sample may not be entirely representative of the general population, as it is well known that women, married people/cohabitants, healthier persons, and higher socio-economic groups are more likely to participate in population surveys [ 53].
