That paper is incredible. It’s crazy that they found 41% of all DN connections receive recurrent feedback from a downstream neuron.
Some things that may be commonplace understanding in the neuroscience community but that I found interesting:
- speculation that deep recurrence in the learning center is a mechanism for working memory, and allows for multiple high-level cognitive processes to occur simultaneously
- the description of how a variety of neurons in the learning center categorize stimuli, a different group controls the learned value of inputs (valence?), and then another group integrates the valences of both the learned and innate neuron groups for the given stimulus category
Oh, and that most of the neurons were engaged in multi-modal activity
