This study reveals how OPC arises from network structures and task demands, offers insights into the implementation and computational mechanisms of OPC in biological systems, and inspires us to develop computational models for human-like cognitive functions.
To support flexible behavior, animals need to learn map-like representations of environments from limited experiences, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we propose that theta sweeps, a prominent feature in the activities of grid and place cells during active movement, can broadcast acquired sen...

A minimal neural circuit model is constructed, in which evidence accumulates in facilitated synaptic efficacy that progressively reshapes the circuit’s phase portrait, eventually driving the network state across the stability boundary and triggering a rapid transition to a choice state.
