These words, from neuroanatomy pioneer Ramón y Cajal well over a century ago, remain current. Since his time, explorations of the brain have only revealed it to be more expansive than perhaps Cajal even imagined. Happy Birthday, Ramón! 🧠 #neuroscience #RamonyCajal

Join us tomorrow, September 12, for the next Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Brain Insight Lecture: Can Machines Learn Like Humans? Featuring Zenna Tavares, and Kimberly Stachenfeld; moderated by Emily Mackevicius. Learn more and register: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/stavros-niarch…

My paper on #travelingwaves with Josh Jacobs, Jackie Gottlieb, and Nicholas Foley is now Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146… Coordination of neural activity across space and time are crucial for optimal behaviors and #travelingwaves are signatures of this coordination!

The son of artists, Erfan Zabeh took a turn toward science when he discovered astronomy. His interest in technology ultimately led him from the cosmic twinkling of stars in space to the electrical twittering of neurons in the brain: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/science-life-e… #scilife #comics 🔭🧠

Don't forget that the 2024 IEEE Brain Discovery and Neurotechnology Workshop #CfP for interactive posters and live demos is now open. Submissions are due no later than 9 Sep 2024. #Students, there are limited travel awards available, so hurry! Details: bit.ly/IEEEBrain2024W…

The dimensionality of representations plays a crucial role in identifying computational capability of neural networks, but "how does structural connectivity shape dimensionality of representation" ? In this collaborative effort led by Eunji Kong and colleagues at

Data can be analyzed in endless ways, as this paper reminds us. So while our published paper reports one way to do it, it's crucial to test many many variants of the analysis to see just how robust our conclusions are.

🧠 New preprint! We used human intracranial EEG + pharmacology to test a core question in memory research: is hippocampal theta required for retrieval? Turns out it’s not—and may instead reflect a reinstated encoding mode. 👇 Thread biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
