🚀 New research alert! 🚀 Led by @jack_bjo @gnicoletti09 @dbusiello1, our latest work in Physical Review Letters (journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…) reveals how excitation-inhibition balance tunes the timescale of information coding in neuronal populations! 🧠🔬

Excitation-Inhibition Balance Controls Information Encoding in Neural Populations

Understanding how the complex connectivity structure of the brain shapes its information-processing capabilities is a long-standing question. By focusing on a paradigmatic architecture, we study how...

📢📢📢 PAPER ALERT📢📢📢 I'm glad to share with y'all my first peer-reviewed paper! I, @SamirSuweis, and our collaborators tried to answer the question: what makes healthy and diseased gut microbiomes different? A thread on our stat.phys. answer 🧵1/n journals.plos.org/ploscompbi…

Emergent ecological patterns and modelling of gut microbiomes in health and in disease

Author summary In this study, we explore emerging ecological properties in gut microbiomes. Our aim here is to determine whether these patterns can be informative of the gut microbiome (healthy or...

Happy to announce that our paper has been finally published in @eLife! In this work, with @umbislupo and Anne-Florence Bitbol (@epflSV), we propose a new method to generate novel protein sequences. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.79854 [1/5]

Generative power of a protein language model trained on multiple sequence alignments

An iterative procedure using language models allows the generation of sequences from protein families, which score similarly to natural and experimentally validated sequences, with particular promise...
