Exclusive: Janelia sunsets rodent work, launches transparent fish project
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus is banking on whole-brain imaging in the Danionella fish to advance neuroscience, but some scientists forced to close their labs say that…

Neural population geometry and optimal coding of tasks with shared latent structure - Nature Neuroscience
The authors analytically determine how neuronal correlations and geometry collectively determine readout generalization across tasks and show how these geometric features follow distinct trajectories ...

A single equation governs the brain’s flexible behavior and predicts how well brains and artificial networks can generalize across tasks. #neuroskyence By @natmesanash.bsky.social www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

Error equation predicts brain’s ability to generalize
Four statistical measurements of neural network geometry capture how well brains and artificial networks use what they already know to solve new problems, a study suggests.

A region in the cerebellum is language-selective—something previously found only in the cortex, a new study suggests. By @natmesanash.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/language/cer...

Cerebellum responds to language like cortical areas
One of four language-responsive cerebellar regions may encode meaningful information, much like the cortical language network in the left hemisphere, according to a new study.

Long thought to be a simple switchboard, the hypothalamus may be the neural substrate of emotion states. By @natmesanash.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

Cracking the neural code for emotional states
Rather than act as a simple switchboard for innate behaviors, the hypothalamus encodes an animal's internal state, which influences behavior.
