  3. If you're interested in doing a 2 year Schmidt "AI in science" postdoc fellowship in neuroscience/AI stuff with me starting in July or Oct 2027 take a look at this and get in touch soon. We've had a lot of luck recently getting these fellowships.

  4. “The relevance of a simple mathematical model breaks down when applied to the human brain, she says. “I don’t think these models are bad,” she says. “They become problematic when people get set in a model that’s been made to explain a very nuanced piece of data, and use it to explain the brain.””

  11. Neuroscience thought of the day: Every spike has an energy cost, so a priori firing rate ought to tell us how important a message is, but not necessarily the content of the message. It's easy to decode simple (low-dimensional) environmental or behavioural variables just from knowing which neurons are currently important (in context). So is this why for decades neuroscientists have believed neurons communicate via firing rates rather than timing (which doesn't have such an obvious energy cost associated)? Could this be the "everything is everywhere" of the firing rate versus spike timing debate?

  19. Researchers identified a new class of neurons in the mouse primary visual cortex possessing a two-part receptive field tuned to complex textures and spatial frequencies, challenging the classical model that these early-stage neurons only detect simple transitions in brightness.

  39. Just figured out that #neuroscience has its own version of Moore's law: The number of simultaneously recorded #neurons doubles every ~7 years. This scaling has profound implications for #DataAnalysis and #modeling in #ComputationalNeuroscience. In this post, I review Stevenson & Kording's 2011 paper and reflect on its relevance today:

  40. #NeuralDynamics is a central subfield of #ComputationalNeuroscience studying timedependent #NeuralActivity and its governing #mathematics. It examines how #NeuralStates evolve, how stable or unstable patterns arise, and how #learning reshapes them. Neural dynamics forms the backbone for how #neurons & #NeuralNetworks generate complex activity over time. This post gives a brief overview of the field & its historical milestones:

  41. #NeuralPlasticity & #learning are distinct but interrelated processes. #Plasticity denotes biological change in #NeuralSystems, while learning is its functional expression in #NetworkDynamics & #behavior. Learning arises from coordinated plastic processes, reshaping #NeuralStateSpace & #attractors to support stable yet flexible representations. Here's a new post on these concepts & their implications for #ComputationalNeuroscience:

  42. Building detailed neuronal models is hard--- helps, but there’s still a steep learning curve. We're investigating how can be used to create natural language interfaces to improve accessibility:

    - for NeuroML: learn from and query curated information sources
    - iterative LLM assisted code/model generation: modelling, validation, and simulation
