1/4) I’m excited to announce that I have joined the Paradigms of Intelligence team at Google (github.com/paradigms-of...)! Our team, led by @blaiseaguera.bsky.social, is bringing forward the next stage of AI by pushing on some of the assumptions that underpin current ML. #MLSky #AI #neuroscience

Dear Editor, Thank you for submitting your review request to Tomer Ullman. As you may know, we decline a substantial proportion of reviews requests without sending them out for further evaluation. After careful consideration, we regret to say we cannot offer to take on this review.

Excellent list of speakers! Come join the symposium at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown. Register now. #neurocybernetics #computationalNeuroscience

The CTRL-Labs decoding model paper is out! Saw this presented at Cosyne this year, very cool to see it out. I would say this is the clearest demonstration of scaling laws in neural decoding to-date. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧠📈 🧪

For those interested in open neuroscience learning tools, check out the preprint for “RetINaBox: A hands-on tool for experimental neuroscience" that a couple students in my lab worked on in collaboration with the Trenholm lab: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧠📈 🧪

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

M1, not so low-d after all: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 We're hiring, please share! The FMI seeks a tenure-track Group Leader (Assistant Prof) in Structural Biology 🔬 Innovative scientists in genome regulation, RNA metabolism, or protein homeostasis—especially using cutting-edge approaches—apply now at www.fmi.ch/education-ca...

🚨Very happy that my PhD work is now out in @nature.com! We discovered that evolution, by acting in the midbrain, shifted the threshold to escape in Peromyscus mice, to fine-tune defensive strategies in different environments www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a truly collaborative effort! 🧵⬇️

A wonderful article on work (both old and new) pushing the frontier of memory research.

Check out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world! 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄: rdcu.be/ex8hW

New by Agnès Landemard (@agnesland.bsky.social‬) & co Brainwide blood volume reflects opposing neural populations Brainwide fluctuations in blood volume arise from two populations with opposite relation to brain state and distinct relationships to blood supply www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wow, very cool!

Happy to share the current version of our latest story, currently under peer review. Cool collab with @dablab.bsky.social @manickam-lab.bsky.social and others. We are not only understanding endothelial deficits in an #autism model, but now also capable of rescuing them! #16p11.2 #treatment #P2Y2

Does neural computation feel like something? In our new paper, we explore a paradox: if you replay all the neural activity of a brain—every spike, every synapse—does it recreate conscious experience? 🧠 doi.org/10.3389/fnin...

1/7) Thoughtful article from @neuralreckoning.bsky.social here, very well worth a read! I am sympathetic to the argument, but not entirely in agreement (no surprise there, I suppose). Specifically, I take a different lesson from other large-scale science projects' successes and failures. 🧠📈 🧪

Very cool work here from @franklandlab.bsky.social and crew! 🧠📈 🧪

Our paper is out in Nature. By examining various inputs to the motor cortex during learning, we found that thalamic inputs learn to activate the cortical neurons encoding the movement being learned. Tour de force by Assaf in collab with Felix and Marcus. Congrats! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I just sent a message to my MP, encouraging them to support #neuroscience research in the 2025 federal election during and after the election. I encourage you to do the same! Visit www.vote4brainhealth.ca for tools that make it easy. See also @cbrs-scrc.bsky.social 🧠📈 #canpoli

Serotonin may encode the brain's expectation of future rewards, influencing decision-making by assessing the value of potential actions in varying environments. doi.org/g9b2sr

I’m happy to share our latest work (co-lead by Selina Qian) has today been published in its final form in @:natureneuro.bsky.social: Read here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-025-01915-4 (1/12)

I'm always impressed when I read an article about work I was involved in that summarizes better than what I feel capable of : www.brainpost.co/weekly-brain...

This is an excellent piece of science, with a lot of prospective value. Congrats to Emerson and co!

This makes me so happy. 😍 Melanie is one of my former mentors - she helped guide me through some really challenging experiments and was always so generous with her time. She will be an amazing President for @uoft.bsky.social!!! (It's also great to see the first woman president of the university.)

What are serotonin neurons trying to tell the brain? Our work on the question has been so much fun. Check out Emerson's exciting paper, and thread below 👇 and if you want to avoid the paywall, this is the biorxiv version www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A prospective code for value in the serotonin system www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Already read the pre-print? doi.org/10.1101/2023... Come hear about our new re-analysis of a free reward consumption experiment from the Minmin Luo lab, and how heterogeneous discounting might fit in! 2/3

What makes serotonin neurons tick? Stop by #COSYNE2025 poster 1-116 on Thursday to hear about how an energy-efficient code for value explains the in vivo responses of serotonin neurons to rewards and punishments. 1/3

Hello fellow k̶i̶d̶s̶ neuroscience people! 👋 Is it too late to join the Bluesky party? I'm a computational neuroscience post doc in the Dayan lab interested in serotonin and RL. Dopamine is ok too, I guess. For some reason people won't stop talking to me about soup. efharkin.com/blog/2020-04...

The general trend is crazy. Here is Twitter vs Bluesky volumes for the last week. On some days they are equal in volume.

In the physical world, almost all information is transmitted through traveling waves -- why should it be any different in your neural network? Super excited to share recent work with the brilliant @mozesjacobs.bsky.social: "Traveling Waves Integrate Spatial Information Through Time" 1/14

Want to hear more about how feedback can guide learning in RNNs for motor adaptation. Here is our new paper in Nat. Com. with Barbara Feulner and @juangallego.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Here it is finally: Our mathematical methods book for life scientists! Aimed at advanced undergrads and beginning grad students, plus all those who want a deeper look at the math behind quantitative biology. @portugueslab.bsky.social. 1/3

High speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City... After generations and generations of train frustrations, it is hard to believe... very hard to believe. Too hard maybe.
