Continuous Bump Attractor Networks Require Explicit Error Coding for Gain Recalibration

Kavli Affiliate: James Knierim | Authors: Gorkem Secer, James J. Knierim and Noah J. Cowan | Summary: Representations of continuous variables are crucial to create internal models of the external world. A prevailing model of how the brain maintains these representations is given by continuous bump attractor networks (CBANs) in a broad range of brain […]

Sparse-Coding Variational Auto-Encoders

Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles | Authors: Victor Geadah, G. Barello, Adam Charles and Jonathan Pillow | Summary: The sparse coding model posits that the visual system has evolved to efficiently code natural stimuli using a sparse set of features from an overcomplete dictionary. The original sparse coding model suffered from two key limitations, however: […]

Pavlovian cue-evoked alcohol seeking is disrupted by ventral pallidal inhibition

Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Patricia Janak | Summary: Cues paired with alcohol can be potent drivers of craving, alcohol-seeking, consumption, and relapse. While the ventral pallidum is implicated in appetitive and consummatory responses across several reward classes and types of behaviors, its role in behavioral responses to Pavlovian alcohol cues has not previously […]
