Story time! Single neurons in the brain can’t be depended on for reliable information. Here are some neurons from our recent study, recorded twice in response to the same visual stimuli. Different neurons are active at different times!

The first preprint of my postdoc with @jtdudman
is now online! Here we wanted to understand the algorithms mice use when learning to forage in large environments with many potential resources. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We performed ephys recordings, in head-fixed and freely moving animals, and found the head-direction system boosts its gain when a landmark is seen—suggesting a mechanism that signals stronger confidence in vision when natural objects are present. 4/

Great tips! We’ve been through this with @thepynapple, to do it properly is much harder than you can imagine.
Six tips for going public with your lab’s software: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
1) make time for maintenance
2) simplify installation
3) add a GUI or good CLI
4) good documentation
5) use github/git
6) automated testing
Any other tips people have?

This is a *beautiful* paper and method, and while the paper itself is very careful about drawing conclusions from the variety of datasets it analyzes, I'd say the edifice of "the brain is chaotic" hypothesis is crumbling!

Wonderful tool for exploring neural data! Stationary and dynamic patterns, all in one place and along a single dimension. Not a petri dish mold-shaped point-cloud in sight. It’s become one of my favorite ways of trying to guess at what neurons are up to.
Make your next discovery using #Rastermap, a visualization method for large-scale neural data. Paper now out, w/ @marius10p : biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It's the middle of breast cancer awareness month! I must admit I dislike getting mammograms. It's not the procedure, it's just the fear of the unknown. But, breast cancer can be very treatable if caught early, so please get checked!

@KordingLab and I efficiently optimize high-dimensional biophysical neuron models with heterogeneous active dendrites using the gradient-based backpropagation of error algorithm typically used to train models in deep learning. Preprint on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2407.04025 1/18

Do we really need neural networks to predict the activity of ~real~ neurons? Yes, but we can make them a lot simpler, at least in V1 of 🐭 🐒 #minimodels #neuroAI

🚨Preprint‼️
1/ Predicting neural activity is notoriously difficult and requires complicated models. Here we develop simple “minimodels” which explain 70% of neural variance in V1! 🐭🐒 #neuroai @computingnature @marius10p @NunezKant
