Transient cell assembly networks encode persistent spatial memories
While cognitive representations of an environment can last for days and even months, the synaptic architecture of the neuronal networks that underlie these representations constantly changes due to various forms of synaptic and structural plasticity at a much faster timescale. This raises an immediate question: how can a transient network maintain a stable representation of space? In the follow...
متن کاملPersistent memories in transient networks
Spatial awareness in mammals is based on an internalized representation of the environment, encoded by large networks of spiking neurons. While such representations can last for a long time, the underlying neuronal network is transient: neuronal cells die every day, synaptic connections appear and disappear, the networks constantly change their architecture due to various forms of synaptic and ...
متن کاملCommunity assembly: alternative stable states or alternative transient states?
The concept of alternative stable states has long been a dominant framework for studying the influence of historical contingency in community assembly. This concept focuses on stable states, yet many real communities are kept in a transient state by disturbance, and the utility of predictions for stable states in explaining transient states remains unclear. Using a simple model of plant communi...

whether enough blood circulated in or around the plates to ensure such a function. Furthermore, while the large, flat plates of Stegosaurus might have been thermoregulatory, it is less easy to imagine this working in the spike-like osteoderms of Kentrosaurus. Another possibility is that the plates had a behavioural function, and were used in either sexual selection (there is no apparent sexual ...
متن کاملStable Panoramic Views Facilitate Snap-Shot Like Memories for Spatial Reorientation in Homing Pigeons
Following spatial disorientation, animals can reorient themselves by relying on geometric cues (metric and sense) specified both by the macroscopic surface layout of an enclosed space and prominent visual landmarks in arrays. Whether spatial reorientation in arrays of landmarks is based on explicit representation of the geometric cues is a matter of debate. Here we trained homing pigeons (Colum...
