New in Nature Neuroscience: We developed a flexible model that reveals how animals learn tasks—uncovering stages, sudden insights, and gradual improvements unique to each animal. Learning isn't monotonic, and our model captures that complexity 🐭📊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to announce the Foundation Models for the Brain and Body workshop at #NeurIPS2025! 🧠📈 🧪 We invite short papers or interactive demos on AI for neural, physiological or behavioral data. Submit by Aug 22 👉 brainbodyfm-workshop.github.io
Thrilled to share our state-of-the-art method for in vivo cell-type classification and brain region localization, NEMO, which is now now a spotlight at @iclr-conf.bsky.social ! We use NEMO to characterize the electrophysiological diversity of cell-types across the entire mouse brain. 🐭 🧪 🧠
Another step toward a foundation model of the mouse brain: "Neural Encoding and Decoding at Scale (NEDS)" Trained on neural and behavioral data from 70+ mice, NEDS achieves state-of-the-art prediction of behavior (decoding) and neural responses (encoding) on held-out animals. 🐀
Ported over from X! What will a foundation model for the brain look like? 🧠 We argue that it must be able to solve a diverse set of tasks across multiple brain regions and animals. Check out our NeurIPS paper which introduces a multi-region, multi-animal, multi-task model arxiv.org/abs/2407.14668
Going to SfN this year? Join us for a workshop on how to use the IBL Brainwide Map dataset to test your own hypotheses! For more information and to register, visit internationalbrainlab.org/sfn2023 #Neuroscience #compneuro #sfn2023
