Now published @commsaicomp.nature.com with @neural-reckoning.org We: 🤖 Define a taxonomy of neural network architectures (here 128 unique structures) 🦾 Train > 25,000 models on different navigation tasks #RL 🧠 Link each architecture's behaviour to its memory dynamics doi.org/10.1038/s444...

A taxonomy of recurrence. We defined a family of neural networks for exploring questions in neuroscience and machine learning. Here each network is represented by three circles joined by different connections (short, coloured lines). Networks are joined by longer, pale grey lines if they differ by one connection. Moving from left to right takes us from the simplest to the most complex network.

How does the structure of a neural circuit shape its function? @neuralreckoning.bsky.social & I explore this in our new preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🤖🧠🧪 🧵1/9

It was an eager crowd! Many got to decoding head direction from population activity, some without having used Python before. Thanks for having me, and thanks as well to the @simonsfoundation.org for funding the development of packages like Pynapple (@guillaumeviejo.bsky.social & Sarah Jo Venditto)

Fantastic turnout at the @dns-uom.bsky.social's inaugural Neural Data Analysis Workshop, over 20 ECRs attending the talks and hands-on sessions 🧠💻⚡ Huge thanks to @wulfdewolf.bsky.social, @ennyvb.bsky.social and Chris Halcrow for walking us through their cutting-edge tools! Links in the comments👇

Mattia Chini@mattiachini.bsky.social · 4mo ago

What happens when 18 teams of expert neuroscientists analyze the exact same neurophysiology dataset? You might expect convergence, but that is not what we found. Very grateful for the opportunity to write with Gaëlle Chapuis about one of my favorite projects since I started working in science! 1/n

The Transmitter @thetransmitter.bsky.social · 4mo ago

A hackathon reveals that disagreement in neuroscience runs deeper than most researchers suspect—even in electrophysiology, a field that prides itself on hard data, write @mattiachini.bsky.social and Gaelle Chapuis. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/reproducibil...

Wolf De Wulf@wulfdewolf.bsky.social · 6mo ago

If you analyse ephys/calcium in Python (or want to) this will be super useful for you! We remade our entire pipeline to use Pynapple (and NeMoS), and it was shockingly easy. I'll be TAing, and happy to discuss your specific analysis needs. bonus: le Tour de France starts in Barcelona that week!!!

1/7 🧠 My journey into development begins with this work and question: how does the brain's spatial navigation system develop? We found that the neural networks for spatial navigation (tori and rings) are preconfigured and only later anchor gradually to the world with experience! 🧵

Edvard I Moser@edvardmoser.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Is spatial navigation innate 🧠? Using #NeuroPixels we show that the #torus 🍩 underlying the #GridCell map exists already on day 10 in rats — before pups open eyes and ears and before they start upright walking. 🧵1:4 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The Cowley Group at CSHL has an opening for a bioAI PhD student to start Fall 2026 to work on closed-loop AI models for visual processing (see below). You *must* have a Master's degree in a quant/eng/cs field. www.cshl.edu/phd-program/... Please reach out to me if interested! I'll be at Cosyne.

DNN models of the brain are getting bigger. Are we replacing one complicated system in vivo with another in silico? In new work, we seek the *smallest* DNN models of visual cortex, balancing prediction with parsimony. It turns out these compact models are surprisingly small! rdcu.be/e5H8G

Can humans & animals really use internal maps to take shortcuts? Tolman famously said yes - based largely on his Sunburst maze. Our new review & meta-analysis suggests evidence is far weaker than you might think. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/ejn.... @uofgpsychneuro.bsky.social @ejneuroscience.bsky.social

Tolman's Sunburst Maze 80 Years on: A Meta‐Analysis Reveals Poor Replicability and Little Evidence for Shortcutting

In 1946, Tolman et al. reported that rats could take a novel shortcut to a goal after training on an indirect route, supporting the Cognitive Map theory. However, a review of subsequent Sunburst maze...

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

The postsubiculum as a head-direction cortex

The organisation of thalamocortical networks follows a conserved structure. Traditionally, these are divided into primary sensory systems that receive…

Finally preprinted! TL;DR: thalamic head-direction neurons can shape their activity regardless of input. Big thanks to @apeyrache.bsky.social and master experimentalist @sskromne.bsky.social .

Adrien Peyrache@apeyrache.bsky.social · last yr.

🚨New preprint alert! The thalamus has long been seen as a relay of sensory signals to cortex. But could it also generate its own structured activity? Our study explores this question in the head-direction (HD) system. Some explanation 🧵👇 1/13 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
