A functional spiking-neuron model of activity-silent working memory in humans based on calcium-mediated short-term synaptic plasticity.

In this paper, we present a functional spiking-neuron model of human working memory (WM). This model combines neural firing for encoding of information with activity-silent maintenance. While it used to be widely assumed that information in WM is maintained through persistent recurrent activity, rec...
