Junior scientists 👉 applications are open for our workshop on the mechanistic basis of #cognition. 🧠 🤝 Joint sessions with our #TheoreticalNeuroscience workshop ✈️ Hotel, meals + reasonable travel expenses covered Apply by May 7 ➡️ janelia.news/CNW26 @michaelreiser.bsky.social @jvoigts.bsky.social

I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb.bsky.social on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great paper by @jonathannicholas.bsky.social and @marcelomattar.bsky.social ! A related discussion we had in our lab recently is whether there exists convincing evidence that mice use episodic memory - refs are welcome if anyone knows relevant work!

Amazing work by Mehran, @sonjahofer.bsky.social, and colleagues, characterizing neural mechanisms underlying explore/exploit behaviours!

New paper from the lab! Mathias Sablé-Meyer used behavior, fMRI and MEG to study the mental representation of geometric shapes (quadrilaterals ranging in regularity from squares and rectangles to random figures). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

For my first Bluesky post, I'm very excited to share a thread on our recent work with Mitra Javadzadeh, investigating how connections between cortical areas shape computations in the neocortex! [1/7] www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

663 days since the senseless tragedy that took An, we present a manuscript that reports some of the discoveries that she left us. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I wrote an introduction to RL for neuroscience last year that was just published in NBDT: tinyurl.com/5f58zdy3 This review aims to provide some intuition for and derivations of RL methods commonly used in systems neuroscience, ranging from TD learning through the SR to deep and distributional RL!
