Neural Circuits: Introducing Different Scales of Temporal Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new study describes a novel passive integration mechanism of inhibition in auditory neurons in the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus that turns extremely well-timed synaptic events into a signal code that is three orders of magnitude slower.

VLSI Implementation of a Neural Model Using Spikes
The paper presents a VLSI approach to approximate the real-time dynamics of a neuron model inspired from the classical model of Hodgkin and Huxley, in which analog inputs and outputs are represented by short spikes. Both the transient and the steady-state behaviours of these circuits depend only on process-independent local ratios, thus enabling single or multiple-chip VLSI implementations of v...
متن کاملHierarchical models for neural population dynamics in the presence of non-stationarity
Neural population activity often exhibits rich variability and temporal structure. This variability is thought to arise from single-neuron stochasticity, neural dynamics on short time-scales, as well as from modulations of neural firing properties on long time-scales, often referred to as “non-stationarity”. To better understand the nature of co-variability in neural circuits and their impact o...
متن کاملSpace, time and learning in the hippocampus: How fine spatial and temporal scales are expanded into population codes for behavioral control
The hippocampus participates in multiple functions, including spatial navigation, adaptive timing and declarative (notably, episodic) memory. How does it carry out these particular functions? The present article proposes that hippocampal spatial and temporal processing are carried out by parallel circuits within entorhinal cortex, dentate gyrus and CA3 that are variations of the same circuit de...
متن کاملEarly and late consolidation and reconsolidation of memory in the prelimbic cortex
Rats can learn to forage among olfactory cues to associate one with reward in only 3 massed trials. The learning is achieved in less than 10 min and results in a memory trace lasting at least 1wk week. To study the neuro-anatomical circuits involved in the memory formation we used immunoreactivity to the immediate early gene c-fos as a marker for neuronal activity induced by the learning. The p...
