š§ Our latest collaborative work, led by Xundong Wu and published in @cp-patterns.bsky.social, shows that adding dendritic nonlinearities to ANNs slashes communication costs. This is a key for the next generation of sustainable AI systems.

Congratulations to Dr. Ioanna Pandi! š
She successfully defended her thesis, "Synaptic Engram of Flexible Behavior."
Working with Dr. @yiotapoirazi.bsky.social, Ioanna is the first person to complete an experimental project in the lab. A talented scientist with a bright career ahead!
š£On March 18th, for Brain Awareness Week, the European Brain Council is at the EP to host "A European Vision for Brain Health."
In partnership with FENS, EAN, and MEP Angelika Winzig, we are advocating for brain health to be a core priority in the EU.
