The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by @abhi_aggarwal1, @PodgorskiLab, and team.

While #Neuro4ML is over in-person for this year.
All 32 lectures (videos, slides, reading lists) and 7 coding exercises are available online!
@neuralreckoning & I cover everything from single units to circuits in artificial and biological networks.

The final week of #Neuro4ML is online!
This week @neuralreckoning & I each discuss one open issue in neuroscience (🧵):

Biggest misconceptions in AI:
1. Confusing skill and intelligence. They are orthogonal. General intelligence can be converted into skill at many tasks, but in reverse, you can achieve arbitrary levels of skill at arbitrary tasks without requiring any intelligence at all.

I'm really excited to share the start of our #Neuro4ML course!
Over 10 weeks, of short videos and coding exercises, we'll introduce you to a range of topics at the intersection of #neuroscience and #AI, like how to add biological details to network models.
Stay-tuned!
I'm happy to announce the start of a new free and open online course on neuroscience for people with a machine learning or similar background, co-developed by @MarcusGhosh. YouTube Videos and Jupyter-based exercises will be released weekly. There is a Discord for discussions.

1/Our paper @NeuroCellPress "Interpreting the retinal code for natural scenes" develops explainable AI (#XAI) to derive a SOTA deep network model of the retina and *understand* how this net captures natural scenes plus 8 seminal experiments over >2 decades sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Really excited to present new work by @ritagonmar: we visualized the entire PubMed library, 21 million biomedical and life science papers, and learned a lot about --
THE LANDSCAPE OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

Joint work with @CellTypist and @benmschmidt. 1/n

Last Friday there was a conference to consider Horace Barlow's work and its ongoing impact.
Of all of his papers, most speakers focussed on two (below).
Strikingly, these two papers contain no models or experimental data,

After our white paper arxiv.org/pdf/2210.08340.pdf, some questioned if Neuro has/can help AI. My @StanfordHAI blog post has 13 concrete/seminal past examples and suggests several future ones. To go fast go alone (AI). To go further go together (w/Neuro/Psych).

#PLOSBiology: Does brain activity cause consciousness? A thought experiment dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.… As a neurophysiologist I feel like I’m obliged to say ‘yes’. So why I am so conflicted by this thought experiment? @jaaanaru @LibedinskyLab @AnnaSchapiro

What principles of circuit organisation underlie the interactions between ongoing and sensory-evoked activity? What is their impact on sensorimotor behaviour? Excited to share my recent work at the @ibianco3 lab in a new @biorxivpreprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… ⬇️ 1/12

1/ A new paper on the “brain-computer metaphor debate” by myself and Tim Lillicrap is now out in Frontiers in Computer Science:
frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
tl;dr: The debate is useless because it’s actually just a semantic disagreement.

The brain is built on a principle of division of labour, where anatomically distinct regions perform specialised tasks. But how are messages sent round the brain allowing regions to communicate? Read on and see our preprint to find out the answer! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
