A yr ago, I wrote a piece about what is becoming a quasi-obsession in neuroscience: internal models/representations. I’m kind of stuck and not sure what to do with it. Meanwhile, I came across 2 excellent "critical" papers on the same topic by @olivia.science and @smellosopher.bsky.social 🙏💪 :

REM sleep reduces subthreshold depolarization in cortical pyramidal neurons in a region-specific manner: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... "NMDA receptors drive subthreshold depolarization specifically during REM sleep."

No GPS in the head? Path integration by entorhinal grid cells without the grid pattern. Interesting paper from Heidelberg. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The projections still fall short of the 60% reduction in emissions needed to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.

Happy to share our new paper with Mathilde Nordlund and Julie Koenig out @currentbiology.bsky.social. We used virtual reality in mice to study hippocampal distance coding. Our results suggest a primary contribution of grid cells to distance over cue-dependent place cell coding. shorturl.at/63yFo

Does predictive coding work in SPACE or in TIME? Most neuroscientists assume TIME, i.e. neurons predict their future sensory inputs. We show that in visual cortex predictive coding actually works across SPACE, just like the original Rao+Ballard theory #neuroscience www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

We're looking forward to the first annual New York Memory Hub conference later this week! Can't wait for all the talks and discussion about all things learning and memory 🧠

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.
