Check this out! Amazing work by two amazing students, one just moved to be a postdoc. Top-down modulation in canonical cortical circuits with short-term plasticity

Very excited about #SPONT2024!

What an amazing meeting! Inspiring science, great scientific interactions and beach ⛱️

This work from my PhD is now published PNASNews (with a much improved supplement – thank you reviewer 2). It builds the foundation for a lot of exciting work that is currently in the making, so stay tuned! → PDF: samueleckmann.github.io/files/Eckmann2… → DOI: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

This is finally out. Check out Samuel Eckmann 's post on all the things that this work is! A very thorough theoretical understanding of how to study plasticity in recurrent networks that do computations. Congratulations Sam!

Retinal waves are known to instruct neural circuit refinement in development. But can they also help train ANNs to better process real-world visual stimuli? YES! Check out the brilliant work of Lilly May biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
