The prix-fixe menu: a combinatorial code for neuronal function
Ari Benjamin, Xiaoyin Chen, Anthony Zador · COSYNE 2023
The striking diversity of cells in the mammalian brain lies in stark contrast with the uniformity of cells in theoretical models and artificial networks. What computational advantage do these myriad cell types provide? Deciphering their roles first requires organizing cells in the appropriate manner. Typically, cells are organized into a hierarchical clustering of cells into cell types. This approach is based on a rich history of cell typing based on morphology and other accessible correlates. However, the very large-scale datasets enabled by advances in DNA sequencing potentially may reveal a
