Alexander A. Benson

Neuroscientist. Measuring dopamine dynamics in the mPFC in social behaviors. Working for Dr. Wen-Jun Gao at Drexel University.

[Earl K. Miller @MillerLabMIT]

The cortex and cerebellum split the labor: the cortex provides a stable, general-purpose movement blueprint, while the cerebellum reorients that same blueprint differently for each context

Granule cells reorient cortical trajectories to separate contexts

Sad news for all current graduate students out there. ChatGPT pretrained on scientific papers of the last two decades can now predict the results of your study. Oops.

Neuroscience subfields are often siloed. Embracing an integrative approach during training can help change that, @AustinAColey explains: https://t.co/R4GHHoN1Y9

[Earl K. Miller @MillerLabMIT]

More evidence that working memory is not persistent activity. Instead, it is dynamic on/off states with short-term synaptic plasticity.
Intermittent rate coding and cue-specific ensembles support working memory

Here is my perspective on using a multidisciplinary approach in neuroscience. One of the top reasons I joined @UCLA.
Thanks to the @_TheTransmitter for helping me promote this model to trainees 🤓

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

holy shit, it’s happening.

a new paper in science just presented “evo”, an ai model that learns biology like a language, from single dna mutations to entire genomes. it doesn’t just predict biology; it can design it.

we’re so close to creating new life i can taste it.

Nice results. You can't understand cortex w/o the thalamus

They also find a spectrolaminar cortical motif like this study:
