245-A Neural Manifold View of the Brain
The review article introduces the concept of neural manifolds as a crucial framework for understanding how the brain generates animal behavior. It explains that although animal behavior relies on coordinated activity across vast neural populations, this activity exhibits a low-dimensional structure, which the authors posit is a result of these manifolds. Neural manifolds are defined as mathematical descriptions of the collective states a population of neurons can achieve, given constraints like connectivity and behavior, and the text explores the link between these manifolds and observed…
