📢📢 Announcing this year's conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience & AI (Rome, 9-12th June). We’ve got a stellar line-up and venue, and invite everyone to join: www.neuromonster.org

Triple paper drop from the inimitable @willydorrell.bsky.social : 1) A normative theory of prefrontal working memory slots. 2) A comprehensive review of normative theories of why grid cells look like grid cells. 3) A new theory of convex efficient coding. (0/3)

Cosyne Viewing Parties Visas, costs, care responsibilities, and environmental concerns all limit Cosyne attendance. Luckily, the talks are livestreamed; but watching alone is the high road to an aneurism. Hence: viewing parties! Gather regionally to watch Cosyne talks! More info: shorturl.at/3DHZX.

Tickets now open for the AE Global Summit on Open Problems for AI. London, 28-30th October 2025. 1,000+ leaders from AI research, policy, and industry. @googledeepmind, @Meta , @nvidia , @ucl.ac.uk , @ox.ac.uk d , @wayve_ai , @elevenlabs.io , and more. Link below ↓

💥 Do we now have all the components necessary to reach #AGI, or are there more discoveries to be made? Can the study of the brain help provide them? We tackle these questions and more at our Conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI in sun-soaked Split, Croatia: www.neuromonster.org

Great work from @bakermansjjw.bsky.social demonstrating hippocampal compositions can rapidly construct new statespaces, with replay as a potential mechanism. Indeed when a statespace changes, HPC cells are active in replay at locations they weren't active at before but are active in the future!

Happy to share the latest version of our work on compositional maps in hippocampus with Jo Warren, @jcrwhittington.bsky.social, @behrenstimb.bsky.social. We propose hippocampus constructs maps from cortical building blocks in replay – now with empirical support! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/9

The program is live! discounted tickets available for students, scientists, and entrepreneurs! check tickets in the link

📢Abstract submissions is 16th March AOE for the Annual Conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI (May 27-30th; National Opera Theatre, Split, Croatia) A truly outstanding line-up of keynotes, session chairs, and invited speakers. We'd love you to come along too! www.neuromonster.org

New paper out in #Neuron: A general theory of sequential working memory in prefrontal cortex and RNN/SSMs with their exact neural mechanism. Plus unifying this new mechanism with the alternate mechanism of hippocampal cognitive maps! (1/9) www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Stellar new work lead by the inimitable James Whittington in Neuron that develops a new theory unifying episodic and working memory and explains diverse hippocampal and prefrontal data: www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... w/Will Dorrell, @behrenstimb.bsky.social Mohamedy El Gaby

A tale of two algorithms: Structured slots explain prefrontal sequence memory and are unified with hippocampal cognitive maps

The algorithm of the prefrontal working memory system on sequence memory tasks is not well understood, whereas it is well understood for the hippocampal episodic memory system. This work shows a mathematical duality between working and episodic sequence memory. This leads to a computational understanding of sequence working memory—as structured activity slots. This theory algorithmically explains recurrent neural network (RNN) and prefrontal representations during sequence memory tasks.
