Ever wondered what different layer-5 PC types do for learning? Our work suggests that one (IT PCs) does representational learning whereas the other (ET PCs) encodes representational value! A great exp-theory collaboration with the Larkum and Takahashi's labs!

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...

Is neuroscience research really working to understand the human brain? Or do we get lost in mouse cognition? I’ve asked myself this a lot since starting to work with human tissue. Our first Jonas Lab foray into untangling human hippocampal circuits is now online! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 1/a few

New paper from our lab, by Mark Saddler, using machine learning to test the role of temporal coding in hearing. Here is a quick summary. (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I failed to reproduce my results from a decade ago: petebachant.me/failed-to-re... I want to start doing these little #reproducibility side quests with other people's work. Anyone have any suggestions?

The terms "learning" and "adaptation" are often used nearly interchangeably, though different fields use them differently In artificial systems we distinguish btw "training" and "inference" but animals undergoing continual learning blurs that Is there a principled distinction we can make?

I have done this frequently and agree it is very valuable. Removing the presumed quality imprint of the journal name opens up the discussion dramatically in my experience.

Popping in here intermittently. Hoping to be more frequent and fully defect from the other side. Follow me for Comp Neuro, NeuroAI and enhancing DEI!
