@ukri.org announces new MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Restorative Neural Dynamics. 🎉🏆🚀 National flagship aiming to transform medical device-based treatments for brain conditions. #neurotech @ox.ac.uk ‪‪@greatormondst.bsky.social‬ @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social

I'm pleased to share our new work, “Spatio-temporal organization of network activity patterns in the hippocampus”, out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social ! With Demi Brizee & David Dupret, we track how oscillations and spiking behaviour map onto hippocampal layers using an LFP-based embedding. (1/13)

We just pushed “Memory by a 1000 rules” onto bioRxiv, where we use clever #ML to find #plasticity quadruplets (EE, EI, IE, II) that learn basic stability in spiking nets. Why is it cool? We find 1000s!! of solutions, and they don’t just stabilise. They #memorise! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
