This is an excellent and very clear piece from Sergey Levine about the strengths and limitations of Large Language models. sergeylevine.substack.com/p/language-m...

Pleased to say "Space, Time, and Memory", an academic book by Oxford University Press edited by the inimitable Lynn Nadel & Sara Aronowitz is now out. I contributed a chapter, "Memory and Planning in Brains and Machines". You can download the entire book for free: library.oapen.org/bitstream/ha...

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested. 1/n

Top-down feedback is ubiquitous in the brain and computationally distinct, but rarely modeled in deep neural networks. What happens when a DNN has biologically-inspired top-down feedback? πŸ§ πŸ“ˆ Our new paper explores this: elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

Science is under threat in the US. @elife.bsky.social have commissioned a series of articles discussing the implications and what we can do. The first three articles are now live. More to follow: elifesciences.org/articles/106... elifesciences.org/articles/106... elifesciences.org/articles/106...

After a super fun discussion on a visit to Harvard last week, this emerged as the critical unknown (at least between me and Sam!) in ideas of intracellular memory. If rich memories are stored intracellularly, each cell needs to be able to recapitulate its inputs during the memory.

I am incredibly proud to share my first, first-author paper as a postdoc with @benhayden.bsky.social . How does the human hippocampus, known for encoding concepts, represent the meanings of words while listening to narrative speech? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Jon whips out his trusty calculator to identify where America’s waste, fraud, and abuse really is

πŸ’―πŸ‘‡ Boycott for-profit publishers! They're stealing research $$$, don't provide any value added while making us do work for free (reviewer, editor) AND selling our private data to immigration agencies, foreign govts and who knows who else... It's criminal to support them! Support nonprofit! 🧠πŸ’ͺ

honestly same

Very pleased to share our recent work, in which we use LLMs for automated discovery of interpretable models of animal behavior πŸͺ°πŸ€πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ that take the form of Python programs 🐍 See below for a summary of key results by @pcastr.bsky.social!

Pretty soon its going to be easier to keep a list of the brain areas that don't encode a cognitive map. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Grid cells have a geometry in time. Thanks to @azvollan.bsky.social l & @rjgardner.bsky.social for this heroic discovery. @ercresearch.bsky.social #KiloNeurons @m-bmoser.bsky.social @kavlintnu.bsky.social @nature.com @kavlifoundation.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a disaster. It feels strange to be living in a nation hell-bent on self-inflicted decay, helpless to do much about it.

🚨Our paper on how the cerebellum learns to drive cortical dynamics for rapid task learning and switching, which we propose can then be consolidated in the cortex @naturecomms.bsky.social nature.com/articles/s41... 🧠 #compneuro

This is junk tbh

New timeline, so I get to share some of my favorite science images again. 1) Sparsely labeled pyramidal cells in cortex. #neuroscience #neuroskyence
