Cell assembly sequences. Sequential activation of neuronal assemblies neurons (1–n) can be controlled by the changing constellation of environmental cues and/or proprioceptive information from the body (top). During cognitive activity, sequential activation is supported by self-organized patterning of assembly activity (bottom). Not only first-order (neighbor) but also higher-order (nonneighbor) connections can be represented in strongly connected recurrent networks.
