Organization and Plasticity of Inhibition in Hippocampal Recurrent Circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Bert Vancura, Tristan Geiller and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Excitatory-inhibitory interactions structure recurrent network dynamics for efficient cortical computations. In the CA3 area of the hippocampus, recurrent circuit dynamics, including experience-induced plasticity at excitatory synapses, are thought to play a key role in episodic memory encoding and consolidation via […]

Angular spectrum of quantum fluctuations in causal structure

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, Ohkyung Kwon, Nathaniel Selub, , | Summary: Scaling arguments are used to constrain the angular spectrum of distortions on boundaries of macroscopic causal diamonds, produced by Planck-scale vacuum fluctuations of causally-coherent quantum gravity. The small-angle spectrum of displacement is derived from a form of scale […]

Modulation of dependencies by brain states in a laminar cortical circuit

Kavli Affiliate: Anirvan Nandy | Authors: Anirban Das, Alec G. Sheffield, Anirvan S. Nandy and Monika P. Jadi | Summary: Adaptive information processing, comprised of local computations and their efficient routing, is crucial for flexible brain function. Spatial attention is a quintessential example of this adaptive process. It is critical for recognizing and interacting with […]
