Some argue prefrontal cortex is just premotor cortex— but how does it relate to actions we make, really? This work led by @Idavrautio shows, unlike most of cortex, motor behavior weakly affects PFC & it operates at longer timescales. @adric_dunn @KISNeuro cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

And our findings dovetail nicely with observations from the @dattalab.bsky.social lab— with both papers pointing to PFC as encoding abstractions of actions rather than their low-level motor execution. cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

Enjoy! Our new paper on social learning of mice.

A new study finds that when living in groups, mice form social networks that facilitate social learning and allow the whole group to respond to changes in their environment. scim.ag/3PCJANv @e_knapska @AlicjaPuscian @NenckiInstitute

If you want to do a postdoc w me (or generally do theory at Allen/UW) apply for this!
It’s a pretty independent postdoc position for people with a quantitative background, and pays well (104K)!
Due date is Dec 16th. Here’s the link to apply. tinyurl.com/coolgoodjob
