Ever wondered what different layer-5 PC types do for learning? Our work suggests that one (IT PCs) does representational learning whereas the other (ET PCs) encodes representational value! A great exp-theory collaboration with the Larkum and Takahashi's labs!

Targeted stimulation of motor cortex neural ensembles drives learned movements
During the execution of learned motor skills, the neural population in the layer 2/3 (L2/3) of the primary motor cortex (M1) expresses a reproducible spatiotemporal activity pattern. It is debated whe...

Theory of axo-axonic inhibition
The axon initial segment of principal cells of the cortex and hippocampus is contacted by GABAergic interneurons called chandelier cells. The anatomy, as well as alterations in neurological diseases s...

Is neuroscience research really working to understand the human brain? Or do we get lost in mouse cognition? I’ve asked myself this a lot since starting to work with human tissue. Our first Jonas Lab foray into untangling human hippocampal circuits is now online! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 1/a few
cell.com
Human hippocampal CA3 uses specific functional connectivity rules for efficient associative memory
Human hippocampal CA3 networks use sparse and broad synaptic connectivity, and their recurrent synapses employ reliability, precision, and long integration times to enhance memory capacity. Thus, the human hippocampus is distinct from both rodent counterparts and human neocortical circuits.

New paper from our lab, by Mark Saddler, using machine learning to test the role of temporal coding in hearing. Here is a quick summary. (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Models optimized for real-world tasks reveal the task-dependent necessity of precise temporal coding in hearing - Nature Communications
Ears encode sound with precisely timed spikes, but the perceptual role of this temporal coding remains uncertain. Here, the authors report that high-fidelity temporal coding is necessary for neural ne...

The terms "learning" and "adaptation" are often used nearly interchangeably, though different fields use them differently In artificial systems we distinguish btw "training" and "inference" but animals undergoing continual learning blurs that Is there a principled distinction we can make?

I have done this frequently and agree it is very valuable. Removing the presumed quality imprint of the journal name opens up the discussion dramatically in my experience.

Popping in here intermittently. Hoping to be more frequent and fully defect from the other side. Follow me for Comp Neuro, NeuroAI and enhancing DEI!
