  Discrete attractor dynamics underlies persistent activity in the frontal cortex

  Neuronal networks involving the frontal cortex follow discrete attractor dynamics to maintain short-term memories over times of seconds, much longer than the time-constant of individual neurons.

  Robust neuronal dynamics in premotor cortex during motor planning

  In mouse cortex, ‘preparatory’ activity that encodes future movements is remarkably robust against large-scale perturbations; this robustness is achieved by corrective signals from unperturbed parts of the network.

  Hippocampal–prefrontal input supports spatial encoding in working memory

  Spatial working memory is known to involve the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus, but the specificities of the connection have been unclear; now, a direct path between these two areas is defined that is necessary for the encoding of spatial cues in mice, but is not required for the maintenance or retrieval of these cues.
