Modeling Short-term Noise Dependence of Spike Counts in Macaque Prefrontal Cortex
2008
Neural Information Processing Systems
We apply the method to our data recorded from macaque prefrontal cortex. ...
With copulas it is possible to use arbitrary marginal distributions such as Poisson or negative binomial that are better suited for modeling noise distributions of spike counts. ...
Applying this to our data from the macaque prefrontal cortex we found that: (1) Gaussian noise is inadequate to model spike count data for short time intervals; (2) negative binomial distributed margins ...

Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
The relatively random spiking times of individual neurons provide a source of noise in the brain. ...

Integration of Auditory and Visual Communication Information in the Primate Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex
2006
Journal of Neuroscience
Here, we show that neurons in the macaque ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) integrate audiovisual communication stimuli. ...
Although the frontal lobes are involved in memory, communication, and language, there has been no evidence that the integration of communication information occurs at the single-cell level in the frontal ...

Neural representation of time in cortico-basal ganglia circuits
2009
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
We searched for time representations in cortico-basal ganglia circuits by recording from thousands of neurons in the prefrontal cortex and striatum of macaque monkeys performing a routine visuomotor task ...
We found that a subset of neurons exhibited time-stamp encoding strikingly similar to that required by models of reinforcement-based learning: They responded with spike activity peaks that were distributed ...
The presence of time-stamp coding that we found here in both the prefrontal cortex and the striatum thus supports reinforcement learning models positing cortico-basal ganglia loops with the capacity to ...

By analyzing a spiking recurrent neural network (RNN) model trained on a WM task and activity of single neurons in the primate prefrontal cortex, we show that the temporal properties of our model and the ...
However, the underlying mechanisms for the emergence of neuronal timescales stable enough to support WM are unclear. ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
This model's performance on simultaneously recorded spiking activity of >100 neurons in the monkey visual and prefrontal cortices is comparable with or better than that of state-of-the-art models. ...
Importantly, the model can be learned using a small number of samples and using a local learning rule that utilizes noise intrinsic to neural circuits. ...

Cholinergic switch between two different types of slow waves in cerebral cortex

Short-Term Memory Trace in Rapidly Adapting Synapses of Inferior Temporal Cortex
2008
PLoS Computational Biology
Visual short-term memory tasks depend upon both the inferior temporal cortex (ITC) and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Activity in some neurons persists after the first (sample) stimulus is shown. ...
Simulations of a matched filter model match the experimental results, suggesting that area TE neurons store a synaptic memory trace during short-term visual memory. ...
To quantify the response variation (noise), the phase-and stimulus-dependent mean spike count for each neuron was subtracted from the spike count on each trial in the corresponding task phase. ...
