Our new paper, now published in
@natcomms.nature.com
, asks a simple question: when two tasks share a common structure, does the brain learn them more efficiently? Surprisingly, this was not the case. Thread below (1/7)

The effects of task similarity during representation learning in brains and neural networks
Nature Communications - Here, the authors show learning tasks with similar structures can initially cause interference and slow down learning, but both the brain and artificial networks gradually...

This paper changed my life: Nancy Padilla-Coreano on learning the value of population coding
The 2013 Nature paper by Mattia Rigotti and his colleagues revealed how mixed selectivity neurons—cells that are not selectively tuned to a stimulus—play a key role in cognition.

When
@natrevneuro.nature.com
asked me to highlight a paper that influenced both my field and my own research, I immediately thought of the work on mixed selectivity by

We always see that 1) neural responses are very diverse 2) the shattering dimensionality is as high as it can be. Now also in an extensive analysis of the IBL dataset. Wonderful collaboration with
@lorenzoposani.com
, Shuqi Wang, Samuel Muscinelli, Liam Paninski. Many new analyses in this new version

Specialized neurons are the exception, not the rule, in cortex. The brain is complex, go figure!

Most neurons in mouse cortex defy functional categories
The majority of cells in the cerebral cortex are unspecialized, according to an unpublished analysis—and scientists need to take care in naming neurons, the researchers warn.
