Ever wondered how GABAergic interneurons shape cognition? The IN-CODE consortium's latest NeuroView article introduces a "population approach", shifting the focus from individual interneurons to cooperative networks. Dive into the future of interneuron research here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
Episode #39 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast:
On modeling neural population activity with mean-field models – with Tilo Schwalger
theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn39
How can mean‑field models be systematically derived from the underlying microscopic dynamics of individual neurons?

For those in favor or against, it seems like a good one to discuss in the Neuroscience & Philosophy Salon!

Cosyne invited me to give a long tutorial (4 hours!) on methods to quantify differences high-d neural recordings across animals, brain regions, deep neural nets, etc.
The recording is up on youtube. I hope it inspires more research on this fundamental topic!

I wrote a very short piece on models & modelling in part because we need to protect our scientific praxis damage caused by AI in terms of addictive frictionless thinking, esp since it harms society broadly too.

Thanks @carvalhais.org for inviting me to write this.
Even if they don't dismiss the evidence of its existence, a big chunk of neuroscientists don't seem to get a key question that representational drift raises.
The whole point is that responses reconfigure *without* loosing representational fidelity.
This means *of necessity* that any geometric/
Some more Brain-Machine Interface shenanigans: this time we think we found evidence that an animal's agency in a task modulates hippocampal maps of that task.
