I'm joining OpenAI next week!🥹 The job search turned out to be really challenging but also super rewarding, so I wrote a small blog to share what I learned along the way and hopefully make the process a little less mysterious for the next person. https://t.co/6FigSBdenD

This looks like a must read (suppl material bursting with goodies).

AI is cool and all... but a new paper in @ScienceMagazine kind of figured out the origin of life?

The paper reports the discovery of a simple 45-nucleotide RNA molecule that can perfectly copy itself.

Dopamine ≠ reward but turns out, also not the learning molecule we thought.

If DA RPE is the emperor, this work SCREAMS it was running naked all the time.

This paper got quite some attention recently. Let me explain why it is so relevant.

Here is my toy model and notes:

The unparalleled XJ Wang has written a book about the computations underlying cognition. I read a draft version and it is awesome. He is not on social media, so I am sharing it on his behalf :)

prudent reminder for scientists today, from a thousand years ago

[Yin lab @HenryYin19]

In systems and behavioral neuroscience, my advice is to assume that something else can explain your data better than the variable you currently prefer. Be as paranoid as you can. Investigate carefully and resist easy explanations. e.g. a burst of neural activity at the time of reward is perhaps the equivalent of Siren's song. Block your ears and tie yourself to the mast. I know it's too late for some, but I hope students will appreciate this message.

Whether mice persist with a task, explore new options or give up comes down to the activity of three types of neuron in the brain

A new technology developed at MIT enables scientists to label proteins across millions of individual cells in fully intact 3D tissues with unprecedented speed, uniformity, and versatility. https://t.co/oDsdgpYNmN #neuroscience @MITChemE @ScienceMIT @MIT_IMES @mitbrainandcog

“Where was I again?”
Our study published today https://t.co/SssPQUDv7l reveals brain cells can form a coordinate system for our behaviours. Instead of locating where we are in the world, this coordinate system tells us “where we are” in a sequence of behaviours: 🧵below:

Interested in how neuronal diversity emerges during development?

I have written a review discussing how a shared temporal patterning program may contribute to the establishment of neuronal diversity in different parts of the nervous system.

Where do decisions get made? Decisions about sensory information are thought to arise high in the cortical processing hierarchy. Our @NatureNeuro study challenges this, showing that decision signals consequential for behaviour are found at the earliest cortical processing stages.

As a bright bright eyed batch of graduate students are set to start, here are the top 11 pieces of advice NO ONE gave me when i started grad school that I wished they did: 1. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. No one will think any less of you, I've never regretted asking too many questions.
