Two brain circuits. Same learning problem. Shared learning outcomes. Different dynamical implementations. Our work shows that learning is not a single canonical solution but can emerge through distinct population dynamics shaped by circuit architecture. Excited to share our latest preprint! 🧵1/12

Do we have to accept a future awash with fake images, videos, and recordings — one where trust in media and online communication steadily erodes? We think the answer is no. Technology can be used to undermine trust. But it can also be used to defend it.

Most vision scientists would bet that single-cone receptive fields exist in primate fovea, but it was not proven until now. It took years of sweat and $ to combine #AOSLO and electrophysiology. Congrats to PhD student Keaton Ramsey and his mentor Lawrence Sincich. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Physiological basis of resolution acuity in vision - Nature Communications
Neural mechanisms underlying high visual acuity are not fully understood. Here the authors show that high resolution visual information is transmitted from the retina to the brain by neurons in t...

Gene editing of single, targeted neurons in vivo is now feasible. We are proud to present our preprint for highly efficient single-cell electroporation using RNA. With @alex-fratzl.bsky.social, @munzlab.bsky.social, Botond Roska @iobswiss.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In vivo single-cell gene editing using RNA electroporation reveals sequential adaptation of cortical neurons to excitatory-inhibitory imbalance
The balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is fundamental for normal brain function, yet the adaptation of individual neurons to disrupted excitatory-inhibitory balance is not wel...

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

👁🧠 NEW: The human retina has its own built-in timing fix! A Nature Neuroscience study led by @ethz.ch | BEL Lab, IOB Basel, @unibas.ch shows that photoreceptor signals – even those that travel farther – arrive in sync! >https://u.ethz.ch/S4DvU #Retina #Neuroscience #Bioengineering #ETHZurich
