Looking to build a vector navigation circuit? 👀 This beautiful work from Hagar Lavian and the Portugues lab finds several key ingredients -- a trusty compass, visual landmarks, and translational information -- converge in the zebrafish head direction system. 🐟🐟🐟 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Sensory information is fundamental for navigation. Visual motion is used by animals to estimate their traveling distance and direction, and visual landmarks allow animals to tether their location and ...

New from the lab! “Semi-orthogonal subspaces for value mediate a binding and generalization trade-off” led by @wjj.bsky.social@justfineneuro.bsky.socialwww.nature.com/articles/s41...
This study shows that the brain can link action to value through neural population subspaces, balancing reliable binding of action to value and generalization to novel stimuli.
Today's Q for discussion by the #NeuroAIarxiv.org/abs/2301.00234 Do we have clear evidence of rapid learning with no synaptic changes in the brain? If so, when/where?
With the increasing capabilities of large language models (LLMs), in-context learning (ICL) has emerged as a new paradigm for natural language processing (NLP), where LLMs make predictions based...
Dynamical systems in neuro - Why now? The brain/mind is clearly a dynamical system; that's clear. Ideas that we should treat it as such date back to the 1940s (eg Wiener, Cybernetics) but have only recently caught fire at all levels (eg thread). Why do you think this is happening now, not before?

2 - Most of what we know about #Drosophilawww.kaunlab.com/post/how-do-...
I grew up in pretty remote areas and spent a lot of my youth out in nature watching animals (especially insects). That being said, I know embarrassingly little about what Drosophila really do in the wild. Truth be told, I feel guilty admitting this since my PhD thesis in Marla Sokolowksi’s lab was on natural variation of feeding and foraging behaviors. The truth is that most of what we know about Drosophila melanogaster behavior comes from laboratory experiments. Traditionally scientists that de
One of the reasons I love using #Drosophila is that it is a very accessible model organism. You can perform impactful work in a high school or fancy research university. This is especially true when studying behavior, which is fascinating to watch no matter your age or education. 🧵
