Inhibitory-stabilization is sufficient for history-dependent computation in a randomly connected attractor network.
Article in Journal of computational neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
For effective information processing, the response to a sensory stimulus should depend on both the incoming stimulus and the history of prior stimuli. We demonstrate how a network of randomly connected inhibition-stabilized pairs of units can produce a network with multiple attractor states, whose number increases exponentially with network size. The resulting network can preserve the computational abilities of recurrent excitatory networks, while activity of active units can stabilize at arbitrarily low firing rates. Inhibitory-stabilization also plays a functional role in history-dependent computation: transient oscillations made possible by inhibitory feedback are sufficient for state-dependent responses to stimulation. We formalize the computational processing of such networks given a set of stimuli as finite state machines and demonstrate a role for a small amount of heterogeneity in boosting their performance. Such networks may underlie many cognitive tasks, suggesting a functional role for inhibition-stabilized dynamics in cortical computation.
