Great work from
@bakermansjjw.bsky.social
demonstrating hippocampal compositions can rapidly construct new statespaces, with replay as a potential mechanism. Indeed when a statespace changes, HPC cells are active in replay at locations they weren't active at before but are active in the future!

New paper out in
#Neuron
: A general theory of sequential working memory in prefrontal cortex and RNN/SSMs with their exact neural mechanism. Plus unifying this new mechanism with the alternate mechanism of hippocampal cognitive maps! (1/9)

Stellar new work lead by the inimitable James Whittington in Neuron that develops a new theory unifying episodic and working memory and explains diverse hippocampal and prefrontal data:

A tale of two algorithms: Structured slots explain prefrontal sequence memory and are unified with hippocampal cognitive maps
The algorithm of the prefrontal working memory system on sequence memory tasks is not well understood, whereas it is well understood for the hippocampal episodic memory system. This work shows a mathematical duality between working and episodic sequence memory. This leads to a computational understanding of sequence working memory—as structured activity slots. This theory algorithmically explains recurrent neural network (RNN) and prefrontal representations during sequence memory tasks.
