In collaboration with @timmytimmytimmytim.bsky.social, @johndmurray.bsky.social, and Max Shinn, we characterized temporal and spatial scales of rs-fMRI during development and aging.

The Antilibrary: The Hidden Value of Unread Books
The legendary Italian writer Umberto Eco had over 50,000 books in his private library.
When asked why so many, he had this to say: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy..."
Made an AI-curated primate ephys literature database covering ~10000 papers with recording brain regions and target functions. Maybe useful for something.

Our new paper is out in Neuron!
www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...
How does the brain decide how much of the past to use when making decisions? In rapidly changing environments, recent experiences matter more; in stable environments, longer histories are useful.
Zhang et al. show that mice flexibly adjust how past experiences guide choices in
fast- and slow-changing environments. Retrosplenial cortex neurons display a wide
range of history-integration timesca...
Thrilled to finally share this work! 🧠🔊
Using a new reinforcement-free task we show mice (like humans) extract abstract structure from sound (unsupervised) & dCA1 is causally required by building factorised, orthogonal subspaces of abstract rules.

Meet the Caribbean reef octopus.
They're known to change color in 0.3 seconds and squeeze through openings the size of their beak!
They're problem-solvers & and one of the biggest octopus out there!

Want a dataset to test ideas on neural basis of decision making or how areas interact as we make choices? Check out our data published today @rudebecklab.bsky.social. >16,000 single neurons from 22 anatomically confirmed areas in macaques performing a decision task. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Scientific Data - Dataset of cortical and subcortical single neuron activity during value-based tasks in macaque monkey
#JNeurosci: Using fMRI, Bero et al. found that the temporal and spatial scales of resting-state cortical activity in humans steadily decrease with age, except that both peak during early adolescence in some regions of the prefrontal cortex.

The antidote to overconfidence is our relationship with knowledge. The antilibrary is the solution according to Nassim Taleb.
