	abstract = {<p>In this note, we explore the role of recurrent connections in Assembly Calculus through a number of experiments\&nbsp;conducted on models with and without recurrent connections. We observe that assemblies can be formed even in the absence of\&nbsp;recurrent connections, but also find that models with recurrent connections are more robust to noisy inputs. We also investigate\&nbsp;the spectral structure of the synaptic weights and find intriguing similarities between models of neural assemblies and\&nbsp;associative memories.</p>
