Lorente de Nó’s reverberatory circuit Levitt et al 1993 Kritzer and Goldman-Rakic 1995 Pucak et al 1996
Summary • Working memory storage and decision-making computations: shared microcircuit mechanisms in a local cortical (e.g. prefrontal, parietal, premotor) area.Coherent fast oscillation may be a common signature of the engagement of strongly recurrent network dynamics. • Detection of threshold-crossing: a mode of communication between brain areas, for gating information flow or selecting a motor action. • Reward-gated Hebbian plasticity in a decision network: a cellular basis of flexible sensori-motor mapping.
