Ever wondered what different layer-5 PC types do for learning? Our work suggests that one (IT PCs) does representational learning whereas the other (ET PCs) encodes representational value! A great exp-theory collaboration with the Larkum and Takahashi's labs!

What if… spontaneous neural activity 🧠 reflects the baseline rumblings of a brainwide dynamical system initialized for learning? We find that the rumblings have macroscopic properties like those emerging from linear symmetric, critical systems 🧵 #neuroscience #neuroAI www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi BlueSky fam, for my first post and to celebrate our recent paper being physically published I thought I’d do a summary thread! This has been my most favourite (and toughest) work to date. Please help share around!! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... (Reach out if you can’t access)
