Strong and localized recurrence controls the dimensionality of neural activity across brain areas - Nature Neuroscience

Brain activity is complex but not arbitrary, and some patterns dominate others, with dimensionality describing how many such patterns exist. The authors show how brain connectivity controls dimensiona...

The TNC Neurocolloquium series started the year off with a riveting talk from two-time GTC Alumna Dr. Roxana Zeraati, Minerva Fast Track Group Leader at the MPI here in Tübingen, who spoke about "Adaptive Decision-Making in Dynamic Multi-Timescale Environments." Thank you again for your insights!

If you’re attending #BernsteinConference, don’t miss our contributed talk today on how considering embodied constraints (motor control + homeostasis) affects decision making during foraging!

CMC Unit@cmc-unit.bsky.social · last mo.

Wed, Sep 30 2026, 17:45, @sanouri.bsky.social and @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social will give a contributed talk in the main meeting on how the internal state of a neural network shapes its foraging behavior: abstracts.g-node.org/conference/B...

If you’re interested in how to identify behaviorally relevant dynamic modes in continuous time naturalistic tasks without any pre-defined trial structure make sure to check @maxschwabe.bsky.social’s poster today at #BernsteinConference.

CMC Unit@cmc-unit.bsky.social · last mo.

IV-74 (Wed, Sep. 30, 14:00): @maxschwabe.bsky.social will present how decomposing neural dynamics to intrinsic and input-driven modes can tell us how naturalistic decision computations are realized in the RNNs. abstracts.g-node.org/conference/B...

Curious what happens when we apply fastDSA across a pool of RNNs and IBL brain-wide data? Could a new perspective on how underlying neural dynamics change help us better understand neural data? Join me and find out. #BernsteinConference

How do internal states shape foraging, decisions, and adaptation in a changing world? 🧠🌍 @clairesturgill.bsky.social and I are organizing a #BernsteinConference satellite workshop bringing together lab and wild perspectives on adaptive behavior. Join us 😉

I'm very excited to present a poster (C-18, Wednesday 9:30) at #CCN2026, describing neural signatures of internal decision-making in the monkey vlPFC. If you want to learn more about how sensory value influences percept selection, come check it out!
