Topic: adversarial representation learning

Our ability to form and retrieve memories relies on a network of connected brain regions. In particular, neuronal ensembles across regions form distributed memory engrams that have structural and functional connectivity. However, the computational principles underlying the distributed nature of memory remain unclear. Here, we show that distributed engrams enable memory generalization and discrimination in parallel across brain regions. Orthogonal and complementary, generalization and discrimination are computations that must be balanced for adaptive, memory-guided behavior. For instance, while
