I'm giving a talk on dynamic code-switching & top-down flexibility in neural codes for face processing in macaques at #cosyne2025 @CosyneMeeting. Join us in the exciting workshop on Object-centric representations organized by
@kfrankelab @DiamantakiMaria https://t.co/FARTE0BMUP

Going to #COSYNE2025?

Join us (w/ @DiamantakiMaria) for our exciting workshop

Object-centric Neural Representations

https://t.co/vsJg1otJqe...

Featuring diverse species💁‍♀️🐒🐁🐝🕷️🤖

Our goal: Discuss universal & species-specific principles of object-centric vision 🥳

[Maria Diamantaki @DiamantakiMaria]

In this primer @PLOSBiology we discuss a community-based, large-scale model of the CA1 region and point out synergistic ways though which such consensus models can provide more comprehensive understanding of the brain. Fun work to do with my colleague @NassiPapoutsi! @IMBB_FORTH

[PLOS Biology @PLOSBiology]

@DiamantakiMaria & @NassiPapoutsi explore the
@BlueBrainPjt study in #PLOSBiology that describes a biological model of the rodent CA1 region, building an accessible tool for the whole #hippocampus community. Primer: https://t.co/XE06quusVS Paper: https://t.co/wcFjjaSxW8

New study @CellReports🥳

Using recordings & #deepnet driven image synthesis we find an intriguing difference btw🐭&🐒 visual cortex/V1

🐭: complex, non-Gabor like receptive fields
🐒: Gabor-like RFs

So excited this is out @Nature 🎉

Pupil dilation with internal brain state rapidly shifts neural feature/color selectivity in mouse visual cortex by switching between rod&cone photoreceptors👁️🧠

Shared work with @KonstantinWille, @AToliasLab & @sinzlab

[Saad Idrees @sidrees88]

Check out our new paper in @CommsBio detailing retinal mechanisms of saccadic suppression and sequential visual processing. Together with Thomas Münch, @FelixFranke7, @HafedLab, @kfrankelab, @MatthiasPhilip6, @mkorympidou, Timm Schubert and Alex Kling.

[Saad Idrees @sidrees88]

Together with Thomas Münch, we describe what "contrast" means for the ON and OFF ganglion cells of the retina.

For ON RGCs, contrast means a relative change in light intensity. For OFF RGCs, it means an absolute change in light intensity.

Very excited to share our paper "Plasticity in visual cortex is disrupted in a mouse model of tauopathy and neurodegeneration",
now available on bioRxiv https://t.co/kSRKLfU2Ki
with @FabioRibRod @Aman_sal and Samuel Solomon. (1/10)

[Andreas Tolias Lab @ Stanford University @AToliasLab]

1/3 Lead by @froudara we study how the geometry of objet manifolds changes across the cortical hierarchy using large scale recordings across the whole visual cortex. With @UriCohen42 @DiamantakiMaria @eywalker @viajake @CellTypist @HSompolinsky https://t.co/AwVWSkmrIO

[Saad Idrees @sidrees88]

In our recent paper in @NatureComms we showed that perceptual saccadic suppression starts in the retina: https://t.co/chVm2eXdCt.

Now, in a new preprint we detail the retinal mechanisms underlying this suppression: https://t.co/eeMaX02kBa

[eman @froudara]

Ιn our recent biorxiv preprint we study object representations across the mouse visual hierarchy. https://t.co/3vkTaqS1ak
