Our paper "Redundant prefrontal hemispheres adapt storage strategy to working memory demands" is finally out in Nature Communications! We combined bilateral PFC recordings, modeling and human data to ask: How do the hemispheres work together to store information?1/n www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Redundant prefrontal hemispheres adapt storage strategy to working memory demands - Nature Communications
Neural mechanisms underlying spatial working memory are not fully understood. In this manuscript, simultaneous bilateral monkey recordings and attractor networks show how weakly coupled, redundant pre...

I am very excited to share my first preprint🎉 The pandemic kicked off strongly during the first year of my PhD, and I had to stop the behavioral experiments when mice were starting to understand the task. At the BCB Lab, this showed us that training automation could be a real game changer (🧵1/10)

UPDATE: It's happening now. German police entered the new venue to break up our meeting with Francesca Albanese and Amnesty International. The miss no chance to prove that totalitarianism is back in Germany even before the AfD has won gvt

Merz stellt Wahlkampf über demokratische Werte
Mit ihrem Verhalten im Bundestag hat die Union einen demokratischen Tabubruch begangen, meint Max Bauer.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Thanks to the yield of U arrays, we were able for the 1st time AFAIK to average across neurons (not trials) and see memory bumps on single trials. Look at this 😍 Not the focus of the work but it taps into an open debate on the neural mech. of WM cf @cconstan.bsky.social @earlkmiller.bsky.social

🚨Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social🚨 with the amazing Smith lab, @jbarbosa.org and Albert Compte who made this work possible. We show that 🐒prefrontal hemispheres combine redundancy (for precision) & weak connections (for capacity) for supporting spatial working memory (WM). 1/🧵

Thrilled to share my first co-last author paper 🥹 Lead by the amazing @mtschiersch.bsky.social 👸, we investigate how both 🐒PFC interact during working memory. Her work sheds light into WM mechanisms by reconciling previous contradictions. Tune in for 🐒WM, serial dependence and attractor models

German's living abroad, we've got until the 2nd of February to register for the elections but it might still be tight that our votes count in the end. Anyways... better safe than sorry, so register at your last Meldestelle:)

Excited to share that today our paper recommender platform www.scholar-inbox.com has reached 20k users! We hope to reach 100k by the end of the year.. Lots of new features are being worked on currently and rolled out soon.

About 5 weeks between now and German parliamentary elections. And I'm seeing the exact same dynamics here that recently murdered what was left of US democracy. 3 things to watch out for: 1/5

A reminder to the Germans living abroad: It's time to register to vote for the next elections. You just need to send this document to your last Meldestelle so they can send you the voting equipment when it's time:) www.bundeswahlleiterin.de/mitteilungen...

Would you like to see @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social add a share to blue sky button?! I know I would! Share this post to let @richardsever.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social and others at bioarxiv know!

"This will make it likely that the limit of 1.5C will be surpass in this century". In Germany, scientists are publicly reading the @ipcc.bsky.social AR6 synthesis report at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social . You can contact your local group to organize a reading.

Since no one did it, here is a list of people doing research on working memory. The list is admittedly biased (based on the people I follow), so please help: don't hesitate to let me know of someone missing. I will happily follow and add them to the list! Please RT🙏 go.bsky.app/8ZsVgMo
