New preprint post! We show that motor commands in the superior colliculus shift the internal representation of heading during REM sleep despite the immobility of sleeping mice. Thus, the brain simulates actions and their consequences during REM sleep.🧵1/7 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

The desynchronization of cell divisions in early mammalian embryos—once seen as a random process—instead plays a crucial role in ensuring robust development, shedding light on how embryos maintain precision despite biological noise, researchers report in Science.

Want a tool that uses ML to generate REALLY good fake brain recordings? You're getting one. Julius' paper on diffusion models for brain data is published! Works with all kinds of densely sampled, multichannel continuous signals (LFP, EEG, etc.) cell.com/patterns/fullt…

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

Ocean warming pattern: most of ocean areas show a warming trend.

If we look at global daily temperature anomalies (change from 1850-1900 levels), we see the past two years stand out starkly from any years that came before:

In a few weeks we will hold a meeting to explore the possibility of existence of quantum computing algorithms inspired from Algorithms in nature or AI or problems that quantum can solve in AI or neuroscience with the current medium precision of quantum. groups.oist.jp/qed/event/%E3%…

Very much agreed

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize 2025 to professor Masaki Kashiwara. Kashiwara-san is the first Japanese mathematician to receive the Abel Prize. #Abelprize #Abelprize2025 #mathematics #science

The “Manifolds in Nature” meeting this year was held in Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭 on May 11-16 organized by Stanislav Smirnov and myself. This edition was more focused on the mathematics. It intersected with the Georges de Rham lectures by two of the meeting participants.

Last month at the Mathematical foundations of biological organization meeting at Les Diablerets 🇨🇭got to hang out with some dynamical systems legends and ran into some unexpected old friends at the meeting Nextdoor.
