Spatio-temporal sequences of neuronal activity are observed in many brain regions in a variety of tasks and are thought to form the basis of meaningful behavior. However, mechanisms by which a neuronal network can generate spatiotemporal activity sequences have remained obscure. In my presentation I will present an overview of the modeling work in our lab, reaching from various types of feedforward models, through models including feedback, to network models incorporating anisotropies in their forward projections.
