Maintenance of working memory is thought to involve the activity of prefrontal neuronal populations with strong recurrent connections. However, it was recently shown that distractors evoke a morphing of the prefrontal population code, even when memories are maintained throughout the delay. How can a morphing code maintain time-invariant memory information? We hypothesized that dynamic prefrontal activity contains time-invariant memory information within a subspace of neural activity. Using an optimization algorithm, we found a low-dimensional subspace that contains time-invariant memory information. This information was reduced in trials where the animals made errors in the task, and was also found in periods of the trial not used to find the subspace. A bump attractor model replicated these properties, and provided predictions that were confirmed in the neural data. Our results suggest that the high-dimensional responses of prefrontal cortex contain subspaces where different types of information can be simultaneously encoded with minimal interference.

The widespread prevalence of sleep problems in children highlights the importance of timely and accurate sleep staging in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric sleep disorders. However, most existing sleep staging methods rely on one-dimensional raw polysomnograms or two-dimensional spectrograms, which omit critical details due to single-view processing. This shortcoming is particularly apparent in pediatric sleep staging, where the lack of a specialized network fails to meet the needs of precision medicine.

The regulation of genes can be mathematically described by input-output functions that are typically assumed to be time invariant. This fundamental assumption underpins the design of synthetic gene circuits and the quantitative understanding of natural gene regulatory networks. Here, we found that this assumption is challenged in mammalian cells.

Background And Objective: Automatic sleep staging is essential for assessing and diagnosing sleep disorders, serving millions of people who suffer from them. Numerous sleep staging models have been proposed recently, but most of them have not fully explored the sleep transition rules that are essential for sleep experts to identify sleep stages. Therefore, one objective of this paper is to develop an automatic sleep staging model to capture the transition rules between sleep stages.

Article Synopsis
- A dynamic deep learning model has been developed to predict kidney outcomes in patients with IgA nephropathy, using comprehensive longitudinal data to enhance accuracy and interpretability.
- Previous studies lacked the effective use of longitudinal data, limiting their ability to accurately reflect the chronic nature of IgA nephropathy.
- In a study of 2056 patients, the new model demonstrated improved predictive performance, achieving a C-statistic of 0.93—significantly higher than 0.84 from earlier models that relied solely on baseline information.
