Spike-history gating of plateau potentials enables closed-loop rewriting of CA1 representations

The paper proposes a mechanism where spike history gates plateau potentials in CA1 neurons, influencing when and where neural representations are rewritten based on prior activity.

Learning sculpts orthogonal task manifolds for continual skill learning in recurrent networks

This paper shows that recurrent neural networks can learn new tasks without forgetting old ones by preserving task-specific latent dynamics through orthogonal task manifolds.

Retinotopy constrains the topology of neural manifolds in macaque visual cortex

The paper shows that retinotopy in macaque V1 shapes neural population activity into loop-like manifolds, confirmed by both experimental data and a minimal neural response model.

Cell-type specific projection patterns promote balanced activity in cortical microcircuits

The paper constructs an EM-based connectivity map of cortical microcircuits and shows it supports biologically plausible dynamics better than an LM-based model.

Neural manifolds in V1 change with top-down signals from V4 targeting the foveal region

This study identifies two distinct neural manifolds in V1 correlated with eye state and shows top-down signals from V4 to V1, particularly in the foveal region, during eyes-open periods.

Reconstructing Neuronal Circuitry from Parallel Spike Trains

This paper develops a method to reconstruct neuronal circuitry from spike trains using a generalized linear model, validated on rat hippocampal data.
