Stable neural representations are essential for consistent behavior and learning, but recent findings on representational drift challenge our understanding of how individual neurons contribute to stable brain computations over time. While representational drift has been observed across multiple brain regions, its relationship to structural connectivity and homeostatic statistics remains unclear [1]. To address this, we explored how drift interacts with structural recurrency and noise in a recurrent neural network (RNN) model. By simulating synaptic-level noise through random connectivity manip

Visual processing is the ability of the brain to analyze and interpret visual information received from the eyes, and it is extensively studied in rodent primary visual cortex (V1) by revealing the relationship between neural circuitry and its functional behaviour. Within the V1, binocular neurons are crucial for stereopsis establishment and for various innate behaviours including navigation and predation. The development of binocular neurons requires vision stimulation since opening of eyes to reconstruct and modify the neural circuit according to the receptive field tunings. However, this bi
