Making the grade with models of persistent activity

Neuron
Joshua T Dudman, Steven A Siegelbaum

Abstract

Persistent neural activity that outlasts an initial stimulus is thought to provide a mechanism for the transient storage of memory. In this issue of Neuron, Fransén et al. identify important principles for a cell-autonomous mechanism of graded persistent firing using an elegant combination of experimental and computational approaches.
