2/ In our preprint, we propose a computational framework in which episodic memory encoding and retrieval leverage a single, shared generative process that represents new memories by recombining existing knowledge:

This recent paper describes a mechanism that could explain how sensory memories are #held and #reset in the brain

It is a beautiful story involving the #thalamus, PPC, and an unusual protagonist: the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN)

Marzia Mahzabin decided to take the leap from psychology to computational neuroscience — and Neuromatch became the place where that decision came to life!

I reverse engineered Neuralink's new decoder arch. out of their blog post.

As usual, they used the HARD work of other labs, and share nothing about the internals.

Cortical activity is converted to bags of "words", producing a low-dimensional representation ... 🧵

Excited to share our new work now out in Nature Neuroscience!! We use a whole-brain framework to show that aging and Alzhiemer's disease affect the brain's functional organization along completely separate axes.

The first paper from my PhD is out in Nature Neuroscience!

Aging and Alzheimer's disease reshape how the brain communicates. But not in the same way: aging vs AD related alterations follow two distinct axes of brain organization

Mix. selectivity is everywhere in cortex: from vis. to PFC

This paper relates to Cover's theorem but the typical explainer kind of sucks

I'll try to explain how the theory relates to the paper, and the importance of "weird" neurons

New paper by @masahironakano.bsky.social , @casewell.bsky.social & @clopathlab.bsky.social who show that planning-like L/R #ThetaSequences in #hippocampus can arise from #MEC dynamics and #Bayesian decoding. Take home: Not every future-like sweep is necessarily planning.
