abstract = {Different stimuli elicit different transient neural
responses in the brain. How is theinformation represented in
the parallel neuronal activity and how is it reshaped by
thedynamics of local recurrent circuits? We investigate
these questions in Neuropixels recordings of awake behaving
mice and recurrent neural network models by inferring the
stimulusclass from the network activity.We employ methods
from statistical physics of disordered systems to derive a
two-replica mean-field theory that reduces complex network
dynamics to three dynamicalquantities that fully determine
the separability of stimulus representations. These
dynamical quantities are the mean population activity $R$
and the overlaps $Q^{=}$ and $Q^{\neq}$,representing
response variability within or across stimulus classes,
respectively.Mean-field theory predicts the time evolution
of $R$, $Q^{=}$, and $Q^{\neq}$ and enables us to
quantitatively explain experimental observables. The
analytical theory predicts the temporaldynamics of stimulus
separability as an interplay of firing rate dynamics,
controlled byinhibitory balancing, and overlaps, governed by
chaotic dynamics.The analysis of mutual information of an
optimally trained readout on the populationsignal reveals a
trade-off between more information conveyed with an
increasing numberof stimuli, and stimuli becoming less
separable due to their increased overlap in the
finite-dimensional neuronal space. We find that the
experimentally observed small populationactivity $R$ lies in
a regime where information grows with the number of stimuli,
which issharply separated from a second regime, in which
information converges to zero, revealinga crucial advantage
of sparse coding.},
