  1. In mouse #BarrelCortex, slow recurrent background fluctuations appear to compensate for the tiny dendrites of L4 spiny stellate #neurons, allowing even single #thalamocortical #spikes to be reliably represented at the population level with millisecond precision.

  6. RE: fediscience.org/@eLife/1158717

    Cool example of #theory meeting #biology: shows that efficient coding principles survive when models include realistic circuitry, noise, and metabolic constraints. A reminder that good theory does not require oversimplification.

  7. 🧠 New preprint by Tilbury et al: Characterizing #NeuronalPopulation geometry with #AI equation discovery

    The approach generates & evaluates 100s of candidate equations, finding "peaky" non-Gaussian tuning functions whose Fourier structure matches power-law dimensionality observed in real #V1 pops. Links shape of single-#neuron tuning to #PopulationLevel geometry using both data fits & analytical derivations.

  8. 🧠 New paper by Safaai et al. (2025): parietal #cortex output populations show highly structured, task-dependent population geometry. Using multi-area recordings and circuit modeling, they show that #parietal populations display organized task-related patterns rather than uniform mixed coding, and that distinct output groups shape how decisions are routed to downstream targets:

  13. 🧠 New preprint by Ruff, Markman, Kim & Cohen (2025): #NeuralPopulation formatting matters for function. In monkeys combining motion and reward, both middle temporal area (#MT) & dorsolateral prefrontal #cortex (#dlPFC) encode both signals. But MT formats them separately, dlPFC integrates them. A recurrent #RNN model predicted, and microstimulation confirmed, distinct #behavioral impacts.
