New preprint with my PhD supervisors Sebastien bouret, @jerome_sallet and Mark E Walton

Thrilled to share our preprint from my PhD work. We show how concurrent task-sets can be implemented from unsupervised Hebbian plasticity in a network model, and how the mechanism is validated by behavioral performance, reaction times, and neural data. disq.us/t/3gv9i48

New paper with Matt Panichello on how the brain controls working memory! We investigate the mechanisms that allow one to select an item from working memory, showing selection originates in prefrontal cortex and acts by enhancing and transforming memories. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New paper with @alexglibby on how the brain represents both sensory inputs and short-term memories without interference! We show how dynamics in the responses of individual neurons rotate sensory information into an orthogonal memory, avoiding interference nature.com/articles/s4159…

Get ready for our new ECR seminar series on predictive processing 🔮🧠! Starting next week with Caroline I Jahn and Ramon Bartolo @rbartolo.bsky.social on rule/state inference by🐵. Abstracts and stream World Wide Neuro 🧠🗺️: world-wide.org/Neuro/WWNeuRis…

Tomorrow: Online seminar by Caroline Jahn Caroline I Jahn on "Rule learning representation in the fronto-parietal network", hosted by WWNeuRise | #bot⚡ world-wide.org/seminar/7432

Happy to see paper out! Exciting collab project with Caroline I Jahn @jerome_sallet, Jan et al on the neural substrates of strategic exploration and counterfactual learning in primate PFC! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… super impressive how they got the animals to learn this task!

Do humans and other #primates explore in the same way? Caroline I Jahn Jan Nils Kolling @Jerome_sallet &co reveal that #monkeys strategically explore to improve future outcomes; this is linked to distinct signals in their #FrontalCortex #PLOSBiology plos.io/3JofxHj

Thrilled to share our study with Z. Gitai, N. Wingreen & T. Silhavy. We measured degradation of ~3.2k E. coli proteins in various conditions, finding cytoplasmic proteins recycle under nitrogen-limitation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Proteomics #ProteinTurnover #EcoliResearch

New preprint with Caroline I Jahn on how the brain learns to control attention in a changing environment! We find attention is learned incrementally from reward feedback, and it maps stimuli into a generalized space that can guide decisions in many settings. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper in Cell w/ Caroline I Jahn on how the brain learns to control attention in a changing environment! Attention is learned incrementally from reward, and it maps stimuli into a generalized value space to guide decisions in many settings. 🧵cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
