This preprint suggests the cerebellum instructs neocortical plasticity via the thalamus: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Very cool if this holds, a really important finding! I've said it before and I'll say it again: plasticity in the brain is less "local" than most people think. 🧠📈 🧪

What should count as a good model of intelligence? AI is advancing rapidly, but how do we know if it captures intelligence in a scientifically meaningful way? We propose the NeuroAI Turing Test—a benchmark that evaluates models based on both behavior and internal representations.

I'm biased, we are collaborating. But there is a reason we are collaborating: I find Shervin to be one of the brightest and kindest scientists I've had the opportunity to meet. This is a great opportunity if you're considering grad school
