Abstract

Random-excitation granule cells are likely to overwhelm spatiotemporal sequences described as “tidal waves” in Braitenberg et al.'s target article. A mechanism is proposed involving the Golgi cells to reinforce tidal waves against noise. The recurrent inhibition by the Golgi calls can recruit random excitations of granule cells in phase with sequences of mossy fiber input.
