The paper shows that switching between tonic and burst firing in neural networks creates a burst-induced attractor in synaptic weight dynamics, which stabilizes synapses and supports memory consolidation.

The paper introduces a two-stage synaptic plasticity rule that enables memory consolidation during burst firing regimes by stabilizing prior learning and improving generalization.

The paper identifies two internal states that influence movement variability and shows they are encoded by large-scale brain networks in humans.
