Can attractor network models account for the statistics of firing during persistent activity in prefrontal cortex?

Persistent activity observed in neurophysiological experiments in monkeys is thought to be the neuronal correlate of working memory. Over the last decade, network modellers have strived to reproduce the main features of these experiments. In particular, attractor network models have been proposed in...
