Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Massed synchronised neuronal firing is detrimental to information processing. When networks of task-irrelevant neurons fire in unison, they mask the signal generated by task-critical neurons. On a macroscopic level, such synchronisation can contribute to a ...

Stability of working memory in continuous attractor networks under the control of short-term plasticity

Wulfram Gerstner, Alexander Kevin Seeholzer, Moritz Deger

Continuous attractor models of working-memory store continuous-valued information in continuous state-spaces, but are sensitive to noise processes that degrade memory retention. Short-term synaptic plasticity of recurrent synapses has previously been shown ...

Engram Excitement

Johannes Gräff, Zimbul Albo

Engram cells can encode and switch between multiple mnemonic functions, but how they intrinsically do so is unknown. Pignatelli, Ryan, and colleagues show that upon memory recall, the engram's excitability is transiently elevated, allowing its bearer to ad ...

A New Conceptualization of Human Visual Sensory-Memory

Michael Herzog

Memory is an essential component of cognition and disorders of memory have significant individual and societal costs. The Atkinson-Shiffrin "modal model" forms the foundation of our understanding of human memory. It consists of three stores: Sensory Memory ...

Calibration-free imaging through a multicore fiber using speckle scanning microscopy

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Nicolino Stasio

The images produced by multicore endoscopes are pixe-lated, and their resolution is limited by the core-to-core spacing. Lenses can be used to improve the resolution, but this reduces the field of view proportionally. Lensless endoscopy through multicore f ...

Embodied memory: unconscious smiling modulates emotional evaluation of episodic memories

Pierre Magistretti, Delphine Preissmann, Mathieu Arminjon

Since Damasio introduced the somatic markers hypothesis in Damasio (1994), it has spread through the psychological community, where it is now commonly acknowledged that somatic states are a factor in producing the qualitative dimension of our experiences. ...

Diverse synaptic plasticity mechanisms orchestrated to form and retrieve memories in spiking neural networks

Wulfram Gerstner, Friedemann Zenke

Synaptic plasticity, the putative basis of learning and memory formation, manifests in various forms and across different timescales. Here we show that the interaction of Hebbian homosynaptic plasticity with rapid non-Hebbian heterosynaptic plasticity is, ...

Perineuronal net digestion with chondroitinase restores memory in mice with tau pathology

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider

Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent tauopathy and cause of dementia. We investigate the hypothesis that reactivation of plasticity can restore function in the presence of neuronal damage resulting from tauopathy. We investigated two models with tau h ...

Disjoint-access parallelism does not entail scalability

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihai Letia

Disjoint Access Parallelism (DAP) stipulates that operations involving disjoint sets of memory words must be able to progress independently, without interfering with each other. In this work we argue towards revising the two decade old wisdom saying that D ...

Traumatic events generate some of the most enduring forms of memories. Despite the elevated lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders, effective strategies to attenuate long-term traumatic memories are scarce. The most efficacious treatments to diminish rec ...
