It's out! We found that the railroad network (microtubule array) in neurites is extremely dynamic during development and moves retrogradely into the soma. New data compared to preprint - dynein, actin and much more. Get ready for lots of movies!🧵👇 https://t.co/lb7YRQJh66 (1/25)

This paper on how the brain may do gradient descent is very cool: https://t.co/hLkaiDwPRm

🧠 #BernsteinConference 2025 Recap / Day 2

The Main Conference began in the afternoon with a talk by @YiotaPoirazi, followed by the Valentin Braitenberg Award ceremony honouring Sara A. Solla. The first two Poster Sessions concluded a day full of #CompNeuro!

Happy the LaTeX template I created for DFG proposals is being used! 🎉
Just heard from someone in data engineering who got funded using it (🎯 content matters most, but hey, layout helps too 😄)

See: https://t.co/jB4t1bodb8

Also loving the community input via PRs & issues! 💙

To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised!

We are happy to announce an opening for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor Faculty Position in Neuroscience at EPFL. Join our groups working on cellular & circuit neuroscience & neurocomputation - https://t.co/sdbArRbpyu. Deadline Oct 1 2025, Apply now - https://t.co/ghLJVC5Tcn

[ClopathLab @ClopathLab]

Trying to train RNNs in a biol plausible (local) way? Well, try our new method using predictive alignment. Paper just out in Nat. Com. @TAsabuki deserves all the credit!

#AI and #computervision folks: this will be interesting to you!

Robust visual inference beyond scale, but achieved by taking inspiration from how infant vision develops.

Shown to work across many architectures and comes with a neat preprocessing pipeline that you can use.

[Tim Kietzmann @TimKietzmann]

Exciting new preprint from the lab: “Adopting a human developmental visual diet yields robust, shape-based AI vision”. A most wonderful case where brain inspiration massively improved AI solutions.

Work with @lu_zejin @martisamuser and Radoslaw Cichy

We are seeking two independent Max Planck Research Groups working in scientific disciplines relevant to our institute. Applications should be sent in PDF format no later than 15th August 2025. Visit our call for applications on our institute website for detailed information!

[Kevin Nejad @kevin_nejad]

After a year of review, our paper is now out in @NatureComms !
I really think our model/theory offers one of the most promising frameworks yet for learning in neocortical circuits - perhaps not in its final form, but the core principle of ssl feels right.
Hoping experimentalists will test it, break it, and computationalists will refine it

#AllModelsAreWrongButSomeAreUseful - I think this one could be very useful😀

[Rui Ponte Costa @somnirons]

Pleased to say that our story of how a theory of self-supervised learning in cortical layers accounts for several experimental observations is now out 🎉

💡New study in Neuron, featuring modeling insights: Cell-Specific Dendritic Integration in Cortical GABAergic Interneurons! It reveals PV & SST interneurons compute differently. This highlights how distinct dendrites enable specialized brain computations! https://t.co/IKDWaRChTp

[ClopathLab @ClopathLab]

Are predictions computed hierarchically, or can they be computed locally? Check out our paper! Congrats @TAsabuki

[Toshitake Asabuki @TAsabuki]

🚀Out in PNAS!
We find that recurrent networks trained with the predictive plasticity rules explain many features of prediction errors observed in experimental studies
