Strong and localized recurrence controls the dimensionality of neural activity across brain areas
The brain contains an astronomical number of neurons, but it is their collective activity that underlies brain function. The number of degrees of freedom that this activity explores (its dimensionality) is therefore a fundamental signature of neural dynamics. However, it is not known what controls dimensionality in the...
