Multi-tasking via baseline control in recurrent neural networks
Shun Ogawa, Francesco Fumarola, Luca Mazzucato
Changes in an animal's behavioral state, such as arousal and movements, induce {complex modulations of the baseline input currents to sensory areas, eliciting sensory modality-spec…
Neural mechanisms underlying the temporal organization of naturalistic animal behavior
Luca Mazzucato
Naturalistic animal behavior exhibits a strikingly complex organization in the temporal domain, whose variability stems from at least three sources: hierarchical, contextual, and s…
A reservoir of timescales in random neural networks
Merav Stern, Nicolae Istrate, Luca Mazzucato
The temporal activity of many biological systems, including neural circuits, exhibits fluctuations simultaneously varying over a large range of timescales. The mechanisms leading t…
State-dependent regulation of cortical processing speed via gain modulation
David Wyrick, Luca Mazzucato
To thrive in dynamic environments, animals must be capable of rapidly and flexibly adapting behavioral responses to a changing context and internal state. Examples of behavioral fl…
Metastable attractors explain the variable timing of stable behavioral action sequences
Stefano Recanatesi, Ulises Pereira, Masayoshi Murakami +2
Natural animal behavior displays rich lexical and temporal dynamics, even in a stable environment. This implies that behavioral variability arises from sources within the brain, bu…
Cortical computations via metastable activity
Giancarlo La Camera, Alfredo Fontanini, Luca Mazzucato
Metastable brain dynamics are characterized by abrupt, jump-like modulations so that the neural activity in single trials appears to unfold as a sequence of discrete, quasi-station…
