Unbelievably honoured to read Tatiana Engel's (@engeltatiana.bsky.social) wonderfully written Preview on our work "Linking neural manifolds to circtuit structure in recurrent networks" (with @lpezon.bsky.social & @gerstnerlab.bsky.social) in this issue of Neuron

In this issue of Neuron, Pezon et al. introduce neural circuit models with flexible
connectivity structure that can generate low-dimensional population dynamics with
different distributions of single-...
NEW PAPER. Why do larger networks train better?
"Because they contain more candidate *sub*networks that can learn the task" → lottery tickets
This popular explanation uses an appealing but misleading metaphor🧵
We propose an intuitive alternative grounded in theory: escape dimensions

Presenting a poster tomorrow at Cosyne 26:
[3-033] Compositional computation via shared latent dynamics in low-rank RNNs.
With @avm.bsky.social, we explore how RNNs can re-use the same dynamics across different tasks, and what it implies for their connectivity and neural activity.
