One of the central questions in neuroscience is how particular tasks, or computations, are
implemented by neural networks to generate behavior. The prevailing view has been that …

The fundamental building block of every nervous system is the single neuron.
Understanding how these exquisitely structured elements operate is an integral part of the …

Path integration is a widespread navigational strategy in which directional changes and
distance covered are continuously integrated on an outward journey, enabling a straight-line …

It is widely believed the brain-inspired spiking neural networks have the capability of
processing temporal information owing to their dynamic attributes. However, how to …

It is usually assumed that enhanced spiking activity in the form of persistent reverberation for
several seconds is the neural correlate of working memory. Here, we propose that working …

Working memory is fundamental to cognition, allowing one to hold information" in mind." A
defining characteristic of working memory is its flexibility: we can hold anything in mind …

Networks adapt to environmental demands by switching between distinct dynamical
behaviors. The activity of frontal-lobe neurons during two-interval discrimination tasks is an …

To perform nontrivial, real-time computations on a sensory input stream, biological systems
must retain a short-term memory trace of their recent inputs. It has been proposed that …

Persistent neural activity refers to a sustained change in action potential discharge that long
outlasts a stimulus. It is found in a diverse set of brain regions and organisms and several in …

A persistent change in neuronal activity after brief stimuli is a common feature of many
neuronal microcircuits. This persistent activity can be sustained by ongoing reverberant …
