How do biological brains learn more efficiently than AI? In a new study, SWC and @GatsbyUCL researchers @PShamash, @sebalexlee, @SaxeLab, and @trabranco show that structured exploration is key. Read the story: sainsburywellcome.org/web/re…

Spatial signals modulate neocortical processing. But where do these come from? Hippocampus? We checked the origin of place signals to the retrosplenial cortex. Surprisingly they originate from nearly all presynaptic circuits, particularly M2 and PPC. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🚨First preprint from the lab!! All credit goes to @cesca_gst & @HernyMV who co-led this project. tinyurl.com/47w98a6b We show that movement-related striatal dopamine signals encode an action prediction error, a value free teaching signal. 🧵👇 1/25

Troubleshooting code by taking phone videos of my laptop screen to catch a fleeting error message. Sums up my approach to software engineering, really.

A big favour: my 14 yo devised & wrote a free+ad-free game (GROAK) 100% by himself. He just put it on Google Play: shorturl.at/cfFG7 He’s hoping for 100 downloads - so far just 10. If you like word games, pls try it, & make his day! Thanks for any RTs and nice reviews! 1/3
