I continue to think interneuron circuits are an untapped inspiration in neural network design for context-dependent computation.

Feature-specific inhibitory connectivity augments the accuracy of cortical representations

To interpret complex sensory scenes, animals exploit statistical regularities to infer missing features and suppress redundant or ambiguous information. Cortical microcircuits might contribute to this...

Hippocampal representations drift in stable multisensory environments - Nature

Tracking of individual place cells in mouse CA1 shows that representational drift is not influenced by changes in environment or behaviour, and is lower for more excitable place cells.
