#compneuro — Public Fediverse posts

Shoutout to Peter Ohue for representing Neuromatch at a CompNeuro Nigeria webinar!

He shared our free, open source learning materials, along with information on our virtual course that runs each July.

🙋If you or your community are curious about #ComputationalNeuroscience, there is likely a Nueromatch Ambassador near you, or one who speaks your language, who would be glad to give a talk or answer questions.

How can #NeuralAssemblies remain stable while still learning new, overlapping representations?

Christoph Miehl & Julijana Gjorgjieva et al. propose contextual #dendritic gating of #plasticity as a circuit mechanism for flexible, assembly-based computation. The key idea: context-specific disinhibition opens selected dendritic branches for #learning, while protecting previously stored #assemblies from being overwritten:

Self-generated #extracellular fields in #SNN can decorrelate #PopulationActivity, expand #dimensionality, and improve decoding. The same field imposed from outside instead synchronizes the network and impairs coding.

Endogenous fields may not just be by-products of #NeuralActivity, but active organizers of population dynamics.

If you are interested, I wrote a simplified SCA-like #Python script to get the idea of #SCA compared to #PCA:

We had #JournalClub today and I presented Zimnik et al.’s recent paper on #SparseComponentAnalysis (#SCA), a novel method for finding sparse, interpretable latent factors in #NeuralPopulation activity. Since not everything fits into a single JC, I wrote a detailed summary and discussion of the paper on my blog. Feel free to share and comment your thoughts:

🧠 How does the #hippocampus keep a spatial map stable while adding aversive context?

Miguel-López et al. show that in mice running on a linear belt, #CA3 #axonal population activity preserved a common spatial #manifold across baseline, air puff and probe sessions. The aversive cue did not erase the map, but deformed it, embedding affective information into the same #representational geometry:

🧠 What can a single neuron compute?

A new #bioRxiv #preprint introduces #TwinProp, using a differentiable digital twin to optimize synaptic strengths and locations in a detailed layer 5 #pyramidal #CellModel. One #neuron classified images and speech and even solved 10-bit parity with 91% accuracy. The key: distributed #dendritic nonlinearities, especially #NMDA-dependent integration:
