Latching dynamics as a basis for short-term recall.

We discuss simple models for the transient storage in short-term memory of cortical patterns of activity, all based on the notion that their recall exploits the natural tendency of the cortex to hop from state to state-latching dynamics. We show that in one such model, and in simple spatial memory t...
