We're looking for a graduate research assistant for 2 years! Come work in my lab - cognitive neuroscience / computational neurology (🧠https://ndcn.ox.ac.uk/research/computational-neurology), in Oxford, on motivation in Parkinson's disease. Patient-facing role. Apply now:

Also - hippocampus, orbital, accumbens, and olfactory areas are most strongly implicated (though it's a mouse odour task).

My interpretation: each nested loop contains synfire chains and covers 2% of the 3s memory delay. Although the longest chains lasted ~200 ms, the authors fit an extrapolation suggesting that with 1000 neurons, you can span a 1 second delay.
