I will always be grateful for the immense -- and unique -- contribution the Swartz Program made in supporting theoretical neuroscience over the past 30 years. Its closure leaves a profound void. doi.org/10.53053/FPR...

Our paper on the memory capacity of heterogeneous networks is now published in PRX Life! First author: Kaining Zhang. Congratulations, Kaining! journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

The conundrum of the undergrad neuro program: should it be deeply quantitative or not? How do you design a single program that accommodates both students drawn to eg behavioral neuro & those interested in the intersection with maths? & not being only premed? Blake shares an interesting story 👇

Chi ci guadagna dai dazi di Trump? Cosa c'entra la #Cina? In questo video vi voglio raccontare la strategia estorsiva di #Trump, cioè quella di portare gli stati a negoziare alle sue condizioni, e cosa c'entra la mafia con tutto questo.

One can reckon that the landscape of science funding is changing in the United States. Whatever happens, I do hope that we see more targeted focused organizations adding up a new dimension to what the traditional university departments and industry research labs were/are doing.

Excited to join @WashUPhysics as an assistant professor in Fall 2025! My group will develop non-equilibrium statistical physics to study criticality in biology—biomolecular condensates, gene regulation & adaptive immune systems. DM for postdoc/grad openings! #myphysicsjourney

New ms! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... I developed a normative coding theory for feedback-modulated canonical networks, providing a unified view of (1) efficient & predictive coding, (2) computational & algorithmic principles, (3) unimodal & multimodal sensory processing.

Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking that leads to “random walk science.” Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments towards deeper insights, writes @gershbrain.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...
