Elementary Dynamics of Neural Microcircuits

The paper derives closed-form conditions for multistability, oscillations, and paradoxical responses in neural microcircuits using threshold-linear networks and applies them to different brain circuits.

Sub-type specific connectivity between CA3 pyramidal neurons may underlie their sequential activation during sharp waves

The paper investigates connectivity between thorny and athorny CA3 pyramidal neurons and finds asymmetric input patterns that may explain their sequential activation during sharp waves.

Low Rate Hippocampal Delay Period Activity Encodes Behavioral Experience

The paper shows that low-rate hippocampal activity during brief intervals encodes sensory-motor experience in rodents, present in both working and non-working memory tasks.
