🐭🐒 Why do mouse and monkey brains respond differently to movement? A study co-authored by @jongant.bsky.social suggests they may follow the same basic principle of information processing – but process different visual inputs. Read the whole story 👉️ bit.ly/4gTo0kO #BernsteinNetwork #CompNeuro 🧠📈

Brainwide Representation of Navigation Enny recorded >20k neurons across forebrain and midbrain while mice navigated 1D VR. She found that every region encodes spatial position! Hippocampal formation stands out only in uniformity of the representation. But visual cortex beats it in precision...

Wenn Mäuse & Primaten sich bewegen, verändert das ihre visuelle Wahrnehmung auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise. Trotzdem folgen ihre visuellen Systeme demselben evolutionären Grundprinzip der Informationsverarbeitung. 🧠 Wie die Unterschiede zustande kommen und was effiziente Kodierung damit zu tun hat:

Neurobiologie: Warum die Gehirne von Maus und Affe denselben Regeln folgen
Wenn Mäuse und Primaten sich bewegen, verändert das ihre visuelle Wahrnehmung auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise. LMU-Forscher zeigen, dass dahinter dasselbe Prinzip steckt.

Excited to share my new paper co-authored with @samplingrage.bsky.social We propose that a shared computational principle governs how both rodents and primates optimize their sensory neurons during locomotion www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Locomotion optimizes sensory representations through a computational principle shared by rodents and primates
Behavior modulates the activity of sensory systems in multiple ways: from gain changes in individual neurons to changing interactions in neural populations. These effects are not universal; while move...
