💭 How, when, and where do we remember events we have truly experienced?

Philosophers and computational neuroscientists in Bochum are working together to answer this question.

🧠⭕️ New preprint by Hulse et al: How can the #fly’s neural compass show #RingAttractor dynamics despite heterogeneous #connectomic wiring? They combine task-trained #RNNs, theory and fly #connectomes to show that “dynamical clones” can embed hidden symmetries in apparently messy connectivity, preserving stable head-direction #attractors and angular velocity integration.

Short-term #synaptic #plasticity (#STP) transiently modulates synaptic strength based on recent activity. #ShortTermDepression #STD reduces efficacy during repeated activity, while #ShortTermFacilitation #STF can enhance responses to closely spaced #spikes. These dynamics shape #NeuralProcessing, #filtering, and synaptic #homeostasis. Here's a short #Python implementation and simulation in #NESTSimulator:

🧠 New paper by Pachitariu … @computingnature: spontaneous brainwide activity in mice shows macroscopic coordination that resembles linear dynamics driven by a critically normalized random symmetric matrix.

#Cortical and brainwide recordings showed power-law variance spectra, slow global activity modes, and little rotational structure, unlike #CA1, which looked closer to an efficient, less correlated code.

The #brain’s code seems to be in constant flux. #Neurons fire much more erratically than researchers thought. What does that mean for how the brain works?
