New paper out 🎉We uncovered time-invariant and cross-subject conserved dynamics of prefrontal cortex in response to repeated threats over multiple days. With HannahMuysers, Hung-Ling Chen, Marlene Bartos and my superviser Jonas Sauer journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Happy to announce that Il Memming Park and me have put together a workshop on reconstructing dynamical systems from neural data with a fantastic line-up of speakers… more details to come. Join us in Cascais!

New paper "A ubiquitous spectrolaminar motif of local field potential power across the primate cortex" published today at Nature Neuroscience! nature.com/articles/s4159… A collaborative effort with Earl K. Miller, Diego Mendoza-Halliday, Alex James Major, Robert Desimone, and others 1/n

We are thrilled to share our latest paper published in Nature Communications! We report that sharp-wave ripples emerge around postnatal day 10, driven by the maturation of inhibition. Brought to you by Irina Pochinok, Chini Mattia, Jochen Triesch, and Tristan M. Stöber, PhD. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to have WenXi's thesis work out in the world! Over the past few years, WenXi has made some cool discoveries about how the brain learns to predict the consequence of an action. 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results" w Xiaoliang (Ken) Luo and BrainGPT.org. LLMs integrate a noisy yet interrelated scientific literature to forecast outcomes. arxiv.org/abs/2403.03230 1/6

View our new study on persistently active ensembles of neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice that reliably maintain trajectory-specific tuning over week’s while animals perform an olfaction guided spatial memory task. Published in Nature Com. nature.com/articles/s4146…

How is this even possible? This is obviously written by AI. How is it possible that none of the authors AND reviewers missed this? 😲

💔 “In a way, art is a little like the dreams of a society. They seem to contribute little, but sleeping and dreaming are vitally important in that a human couldn’t live without them, in the same way a society cannot live without art.” via The New York Times nytimes.com/2024/03/23/art…

Brilliantly accessible philosopher, allegedly controversial, because much of humanity are deluded by religion. Read the " The Intentional Stance". His best intuition was that evolution shaped consiousness. theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

How many academic papers are written with the help of ChatGPT? To answer this question, we analyzed 14mln PubMed abstracts from 2010 to 2024 and looked for excess words: ** Delving into ChatGPT usage in academic writing through excess vocabulary ** arxiv.org/abs/2406.07016 1/11

New preprint from the lab, featuring the fantastic work of Susanne Babl!

Our lab at UKE Hamburg is recruiting! We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to study the circuit dynamics underlying the development of cognitive flexibility. Please RT

Thrilled to share this work from the Roeper lab! Lora discovered that behavioral recovery in a 6-OHDA parkinsonism model involves firing range adaptations in surviving dopamine neurons, mediated by Kv4.3 function. Happy to have been included in this😃 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The vocabulary of systems neuroscience may appear daunting to many. Here's a short dictionary of common terms. BTW if you use them in your papers and grants you will have greater success

How do animals learn new rules? By systematically testing diff. behavioral strategies, guided by selective attn. to rule-relevant cues: rdcu.be/etlRV Akin to in-context learning in AI, strategy selection depends on the animals' "training set" (prior experience).
