Abstract
Memory storage in neural networks: Neuronal networks can store and retrieve discrete memories, but often fail to retrieve stored sequences. This is because error decreases over time for a static attractor, but builds up drastically over time if patterns are not trained to retrieve themselves but to retrieve the next item in a sequence. Pfeiffer and Foster studied brain activity in awake but immobile rats. Recording simultaneously from a large number of place cells in the hippocampal formation, they found that internally generated sequences alternated between periods of hovering in place while being strengthened, and periods of abrupt transition to a new place.
