🚨🚨New Preprint Alert!🚨🚨

Animal learning is painfully slow (at least initially). Yet, well trained animals can learn very fast, sometimes displaying few-shot inference. How does this transition occur?

Our recent work presents a 1-gram wireless mesoscope for cortex-wide imaging at single cell resolution in naturally behaving mice, published in @Nature . It's interesting to see large-scale neural activities in multiple mice within a very natural habitat. rdcu.be/iGFq4KbdWuza

Congratulations to @lab_plotkin on the great paper in Neuron! In it, they investigate the connectivity between the amygdala and dorsolateral striatum in a mouse model of OCD. Read more about the work in this @sbunewsdesk feature: news.stonybrook.edu/newsroom…
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

First study out! Using a new cooperative paradigm and multi-agent inverse RL, we show that mice spontaneously adopt leader/follower roles, and the prefrontal cortex encodes these role dynamics and an egocentric social value map of the partner’s position.

PhD work finally out! 🥹 This work saw much blood, sweat and tears — but it also embodied the beautiful joy of discovery that I’m so grateful to experience as a scientist
Thank you most of all to Rathi who carried the revision experiments to the end! ❤️

1/10 Our paper is out today in Science!
During artificial hibernation, hippocampal firing rates fell by ~70% and synapse density fell by more than half—yet mice retained memories formed beforehand.
How can memory survive such extensive brain remodeling?

Proud to share this new preprint led by Mélanie Druart!
Membrane potential recordings from 300+ identified striatal neurons reveal the cellular and synaptic actions of dopamine during behavior. 💪🧠⚡

A new study shows that dopamine D2 receptors form a direct complex with NMDA receptors in the nucleus accumbens region of the brain, tuning glutamate signals to control plasticity and aversive learning. scim.ag/4fN3Ppn

From @TheAthleticFC: Argentina disgraced themselves and the World Cup final with their charmless petulance, our columnist writes. It was "a tetchy, petulant and distasteful performance by the now deposed world champions." nyti.ms/4aZbFJW

A decade ago in Korea, AlphaGo showed AI’s potential.
Together with the Korean government, we’re now looking at how this technology can help accelerate scientific discovery and create new opportunities for economic growth across the region. 🇰🇷

New paper in Nature Neuro! We found dopamine is severely impaired in the lateral entorhinal cortex of Alzheimer’s mice. Optogenetic stimulation of entorhinal dopamine and LEVODOPA treatment restored their memory – dopamine treatment may be a future treatment for AD patients!
My postdoctoral work is finally published in Nature Neuroscience after six years!
We show that dopamine signaling in the lateral entorhinal cortex, previously identified as being involved in memory, is disrupted in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model.
