Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Our paper is out in Nature. By examining various inputs to the motor cortex during learning, we found that thalamic inputs learn to activate the cortical neurons encoding the movement being learned. Tour de force by Assaf in collab with Felix and Marcus. Congrats! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@kordinglab.bsky.social has convinced me on this point. I am a strong believer in the potential for foundation models to have a big impact in neuroscience. But, if we want to use them as "digital twins" to predict the impact of treatments, we'll need to train them on interventional data. 🧠📈 🧪

ok so i know that journals will probably never pay reviewers but can't they at least introduce some incentive structure where you get publication costs waived for every 3 reviews you do or something? maybe not feasible if everyone wants to submit to CNS but you can centralize the incentive system 🤔

Consistent with the work of @jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and @mishaahrens.bsky.social labs, we find that serotonin axons in mouse visual cortex appear to signal recent visuomotor uncertainty (and unlike norepinephrine axons, they have no visuomotor mismatch responses) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Here's a question I've been pondering: what would it take for an AI to be 'embodied'? I think an AI running on a computer inside a robot and controlling the robot body, could be called embodied. But what if the AI is running on a server, controlling a robot body via wifi? Is that still embodied?
