Le mécanisme de la #MémoireMotrice? Dr Simon Chen @SChenlab a étudié les circuits dans le cerveau de souris pendant une nouvelle tâche.

De nouvelles cibles thérapeutiques pourraient être définies pour retrouver des capacités motrices.

A surprising attribute of dendrites is that they seem to control the dispersion of inter spike intervals. They also control gain and act as ANNs but somewhat less readily. Work from @Z_Friedenberger:

Many friends and colleagues have noted the accuracy and quality of the writing in this piece. After having been exposed to the process, I stand up on the top of my desk to applaud the careful work done by @allisonpwhitten & @QuantaMagazine

Check out this Quanta article on work from @NeuroNaud and @tyrell_turing

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

More than three decades ago, the discovery of backpropagation revolutionized machine learning. Now, researchers have shown how a similar mechanism might work in human brains. @allisonpwhitten reports: https://t.co/rYe3PVqFBC

Beautiful work from @TuanBuiLab !

If synaptic #plasticity is regulated by high-frequency bursts of spikes, then neurons higher in a hierarchical circuit can coordinate the plasticity of lower-level connections to enable learning complex tasks

[Richard Naud @NeuroNaud]

How can synaptic plasticity lead to meaningful learning? Our recent work makes some headway in that direction. I am so excited to see it out in @NatureNeuro today! With @tyrell_turing @hisspikeness @guerguiev and Alexandre Payeur

We are hiring! @NeuroNaud and I are looking for a Ph.D. student and a postdoc to explore how neurons integrate synaptic signals and networks code information in the hippocampus during memory formation. Join our collaborative team!

[PLOS Comp Biol @PLOSCompBiol]

A new model based on linear-nonlinear operations captures different types of synapses and predicts experimental data. Thus single neurons act as multi-layer neural networks even in the absence of dendrites: https://t.co/rJEINrhSaE @NeuroNaud @mossy_fibers @j_rossbroich

[Katalin Toth @mossy_fibers]

Synapses are diverse creatures, we need models that capture their diversity. Our new paper on a new model developed by @NeuroNaud’s team including talented students: Twitter-less Daniel Trotter and John Beninger, and @j_rossbroich

[Richard Naud @NeuroNaud]

Thinking about information processing in single-neurons (and synapses) I find this linear-nonlinear framework quite helpful.

Autism and motor learning. Outstanding work from Simon Chen's lab

[S.ChenLab uOttawa @SChenlab]

I'm very happy to share our lab's first paper that is published online in @NatureNeuro today !!

@uOttawaBMRI @uOttawaMed @Neurodynam

and we thank the fundings from @SFARIorg and @BBRFoundation for the work.

[Richard Naud @NeuroNaud]

uOttawa's physics department is looking for a new faculty member! Topic: theoretical neurophysics/artificial intelligence. IMO it is a great place to start a lab. Please RT. DM to me if you have questions. https://t.co/X0MI5hhex9
