Geometric Stability of Neural Population Codes: Regional Variation, Behavioral Relevance, and Circuit Dependence
Current models of representational reliability in neural populations focus on temporal stability: whether population centroids are preserved across sessions and days. This framing leaves a fundamental question unanswered: how reliably does the pairwise distance structure among st…
