A dominant theory of working memory (WM), referred to as the persistent activity hypothesis,
holds that recurrently connected neural networks, presumably located in the prefrontal …

Sparse, sequential patterns of neural activity have been observed in numerous brain areas
during timekeeping and motor sequence tasks. Inspired by such observations, we construct …

Learning to produce spatiotemporal sequences is a common task that the brain has to solve.
The same neurons may be used to produce different sequential behaviours. The way the …

Precisely timed and reliably emitted spikes are hypothesized to serve multiple functions,
including improving the accuracy and reproducibility of encoding stimuli, memories, or …

Sequential activity has been observed in multiple neuronal circuits across species, neural
structures, and behaviors. It has been hypothesized that sequences could arise from …

Multiple brain regions are able to learn and express temporal sequences, and this
functionality is an essential component of learning and memory. We propose a substrate for …

The hippocampus places us both in time and space. It does so over remarkably large spans:
milliseconds to years, and centimeters to kilometers. This works for sensory representations …

Sequence learning, prediction and replay have been proposed to constitute the universal
computations performed by the neocortex. The Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) …

Working memory (WM) is a key component of human memory and cognition. Computational
models have been used to study the underlying neural mechanisms, but neglected the …

Associative memory is a cornerstone of cognitive intelligence within the human brain. The
Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), a cortex-inspired model with …
