Abstract While early experience with moving stimuli is necessary for the development of direction selectivity in visual cortex carnivores, it unclear whether exerts a permissive or instructive influence. To test if specific parameters experienced could instructively sculpt emergent responses, visually naive ferrets were exposed to several hours unusual spatiotemporal patterns. In most immature ferrets, cortical neurons developed these patterns, indicating an animals that 1–10 days more...

During both sleep and awake immobility, hippocampal place cells reactivate time-compressed versions of sequences representing recently experienced trajectories in a phenomenon known as replay. Intriguingly, spontaneous can also correspond to forthcoming novel environments later, preplay. Here, we present model showing that spikes correlated with the fields underlying spatial previously future arise spontaneously neural circuits random, clustered connectivity rather than pre-configured maps....

Neural circuits with multiple discrete attractor states could support a variety of cognitive tasks according to both empirical data and model simulations. We assess the conditions for such multistability in neural systems, using firing-rate framework, which clusters neurons net self-excitation are represented as units, interact each other through random connections. focus on individual units lack sufficient become bistable their own. Rather, can arise via recurrent input from network effect...
