Coupled noisy spiking neurons as velocity-controlled oscillators in a model of grid cell spatial firingEric A Zilli
Center for Memory and Brain, Department of Psychology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA
J Neurosci 30:13850-60. 2010..Nevertheless, a number of simplifications were still made and future work should examine increasingly realistic models...- Evaluation of the oscillatory interference model of grid cell firing through analysis and measured period variance of some biological oscillatorsEric A Zilli
Department of Psychology, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
PLoS Comput Biol 5:e1000573. 2009..However, oscillatory interference models can tolerate small amounts of noise, suggesting the utility of circuit level effects which might reduce oscillator variability. Further implications for grid cell models are discussed... - The influence of Markov decision process structure on the possible strategic use of working memory and episodic memoryEric A Zilli

Program in Neuroscience, Center for Memory and Brain, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Network 17:277-97. 2006..The analyses also reveal that the model's learning rule results in stability and normalization of synaptic weights and show how dysfunction of neuromodulatory systems might lead to epileptic or amnestic type conditions... - A phase code for memory could arise from circuit mechanisms in entorhinal cortexMichael E Hasselmo
