Human thought follows structural rules, independent of what we are thinking about. We separate form & content. E.g, a sentence follows a given syntax, independently of its topic. How can the brain separate content from structure? 🧵on our preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/6

The model runs in continuous time, and can encode words presented at variable speed. The synaptic rules predict lexical and syntactic priming seen in humans. It can learn syntax by very slow plasticity at the same synapses. Both order and morpheme-based grammars work. 5/6

It also simulates human ERP responses to grammar. Overall, our rapid plasticity rules capture the structure-content duality of thought, unlike other neural networks. 6/6

Probably the coolest use of sin and cos functions you have ever seen!

In this short letter we explain why binding problems occur in the brain and why deep neural networks need to cope with them. We respond to Scholte and de Haan (TICS 2025), who previously claimed the opposite. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ljgr…

Hirschbichler et al. find that DBS-induced VTA inhibition does not impair reinforcement learning, but does lead to more strategic betting behaviour. They propose that the VTA may help sustain reward-driven behaviours over time. tinyurl.com/ywym2u7d

So great to see high quality behavioural modelling together with population decoding!

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).

Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease is hard because of the many variants, with different underlying causes. We found that cognitive and psychiatric profiles may help doctors distinguish them.

ALT Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease is hard because of the many variants, which may have different underlying causes. Currently, arbitrary clinical criteria are used to label patitents. Harnessing two large cohorts of patients from across the UK (total N=1138), we found that patients with different labels also had different patterns on cognitive and psychiatric measures (Hu et al., Brain 2025). This helps clinicians establish diagnoses more firmly, but also use more fine-grained phenotyping that acknowledges the blurred edges between these disorders. [classifier weights also available!].
