Sussillo reviews the use of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to study cortical neurons.  RNNs can explain the high-dimensional, mixed-selectivity properties and oscillatory temporal dynamics of cortical neurons.  They share many features of cortical networks including feedback, nonlinearity, and parallel and distributed computing
