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
