Toroidal topology of population activity in grid cells

Richard J. Gardner et al.

Summary: The medial entorhinal cortex is part of a neural system that maps the position of an individual within a physical environment. Grid cells, a key component of this system, fire in a hexagonal pattern and collectively form a population code for the animal's position. The network dynamics of grid cells show on a toroidal manifold, with individual cells preferentially active at specific positions, which are maintained across environments and states.

Remote cortical perturbation dynamically changes the network solutions to given tactile inputs in neocortical neurons

Leila Etemadi et al.

Summary: This article investigates how intracortical electrical perturbation affects neuronal activations in response to tactile inputs. The study finds that such perturbation can change the response states of neurons, inducing response states that were less likely to occur otherwise, thereby enabling a more diverse perceptual capability.

Beyond body maps: Information content of specific body parts is distributed across the somatosensory homunculus

Dollyane Muret et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the information content in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is more distributed than the selectivity of body parts suggests. Using fMRI analysis, the researchers found significant differences in body part representation not only within the primary region but also in distant non-primary regions. This finding has implications for rehabilitation and brain-machine interfaces.

Spread of pathological human Tau from neurons to oligodendrocytes and loss of high-firing pyramidal neurons in aging mice

Tim J. Viney et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of hyperphosphorylated Tau (pTau) on cellular and network activity in the hippocampal formation of tauopathy model mice. The accumulation of pTau in deep-layer pyramidal neurons and its spread to oligodendrocytes lead to neurodegeneration. Despite reduced short-term familiarity, spatial working and reference memory remain normal in transgenic mice. It is hypothesized that preserved subcortical network mechanisms maintain cortical neuronal coordination and counteract the effects of pTau aggregation and neurodegeneration.

Attractor and integrator networks in the brain

Mikail Khona et al.

Summary: This review highlights the success of attractor neural network models in describing various brain functions, such as maintaining working memory and integrating cues. It discusses the mechanisms of these models and their potential uses in brain computation. It also emphasizes recent advances in understanding how attractor dynamics can overcome trade-offs in robustness, capacity, structure, and flexibility. Attractor network dynamics are capable of supporting multiple computations performed by the brain.

The hippocampus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and episodic and semantic memory

Edmund T. Rolls

Summary: The human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/anterior cingulate cortex is involved in reward, emotion, and memory. The study reveals that the orbitofrontal cortex in humans connects with the vmPFC and anterior cingulate cortex, providing a pathway for reward and emotional value to be integrated into episodic memory. This value component contributes to primarily episodic memories, which can be repeatedly recalled from the hippocampus and eventually incorporated into semantic and autobiographical memories in the neocortex. The connection between the orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate regions and the cholinergic nuclei in the septal and basal forebrain helps consolidate memory and explains why damage to the vmPFC impairs memory. Thus, the human hippocampus and vmPFC play complementary roles in the formation of episodic and semantic memories.

Widespread Decoding of Tactile Input Patterns Among Thalamic Neurons

Anders Wahlbom et al.

Summary: The research findings suggest that most thalamic neurons respond to tactile inputs and can decode the inputs provided, with neurons having short response latency times typically performing better. This indicates that tactile information from a specific skin area is widely available in the thalamocortical circuitry.

Chromatic micromaps in primary visual cortex

Soumya Chatterjee et al.

Summary: Neurons in the neocortex cluster based on similar response properties, specifically in V1, the fine structure of chromatic representation shows clear clusters responsive to spatially uniform chromatic stimuli. These clusters segregate into smaller ensembles with distinct chromatic signatures, forming maps that switch between blobs and combined systems based on the spatial contents of the visual scene.

Summary: The brain's internal activity interacts with external inputs to influence perception. Neurons exhibit specific response types to tactile inputs, potentially dependent on the state of specific subnetworks connected to each neuron.
