📣 New study out today! We show that the brain's language network stays remarkably stable with age — same topography, lateralization, selectivity and connectivity as in younger adults — while the domain-general multiple demand network showed altered activity patterns. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Large language models (LLMs) trained on outputs from other LLMs/AI can inherit undesirable behaviors, even if they are not directly referenced in the training data shows a recent @nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

During model distillation, large language models can subtly transmit traits unrelated to the training data.

Function & cytoarchitecture don't overlap ... they're orthogonal. Prefrontal cortex is plastered with chains of functional patches previously mostly known from face processing. Why multi-modal parcellations are wrong ... and other insights hidden by group-averaging of fMRI data. great explainer👇🏻
