题目: Dynamic brain-wide activity supporting working memory

摘要：

Working memory is a critical process of the brain to maintain and manipulate information over a delay period of seconds. Brain-wide circuitry mechanisms underlying working memory remain elusive. We studied head-fixed mice performing olfactory working memory tasks to tackle this question. Single-unit recordings in many regions of the mouse brain revealed information-maintenance ability in the neurons of many regions, with mostly transient coding ability for memory. Correlation analysis revealed hierarchical organization and replay of brain-wide dynamic motifs associated with working memory. We also trying to examine such principles in the macaque brain. Such distributed, replayed, and hierarchically organized activity motifs may inspire new theories and algorithms for better understanding and design of intelligence.
