Very happy to announce that my very first paper just came out in PNAS.
“Neuronal circuits overcome imbalance in excitation and inhibition by adjusting connection numbers”

Very impressive joint investigation by @meduza_en and @mediazona_en on MALE excess mortality in Russia during the war:

Spoiler: ~25K in 2022, ~50K until now.
Here is the little part that I did, based on the Rosstat data. [1/5]
1) We present our Expressive Leaky Memory (ELM) neuron 🧠, which can capture detailed cortical neuron I/O with few thousand params (1000x improv 🤯) but can also solve complex long-range tasks such as Pathfinder-X (16k context len 🍀)!

no fake blue check but board YY2 tomorrow in the dreaded Wed afternoon session:
fitting AdExIF spiking neural networks to neural population data to infer underlying circuit parameters - reduce graduate student pain of manual parameter search! with @deismic_ and @jakhmack
Want to fit spiking neural networks to data but don’t want to jiggle parameters for a year?
@_rdgao is in @dog_squared & @PaulSpitzner's workshop to talk about amortized inference for discovering mechanistic models of network dynamics.
Wednesday 11am

Looking forward to speak at the #BernsteinConference satellite workshop on network dynamics https://t.co/tOfR31QmNc Understanding oscillatory regimes in vitro versus in vivo
I am stuck in an ICE at a town called Bebra on my way to #BernsteinConference, so it’s a perfect time to advertise the workshop on Advances in network dynamics of in vitro neural systems that @PaulSpitzner and I have organized 1/n
https://t.co/ODCx6BjsRb
Finally, we will have a series of talks on modelling network activity both in dissociated cultures and well as in brain organoids, talk a bit about oscillations, and discuss the difference between in vitro and in vivo dynamics. 6/n
1/5 Super excited to announce the @BernsteinNeuro PhD Symposium program! This year’s topic is “Critical Thinking in (Neuro)Science”.
Keynote lectures by @BorisBarbour and @bengtza + unconference sessions + BBQ.

Join us! A new fully open collaborative computational neuroscience research project. Anyone can participate and everyone who contributes gets to be an author. Details below 🧵 or jump straight to the website. 🙏 @TomasFiers@ryrobyrne for setting it up!

Dear twitter, a cousin of a friend just managed to flee from Ukraine to Poland with her young daughter and her mother. She’s an English-speaking GP and asks about jobs. Can she work in NL or DE or EU more broadly? Are there support initiatives aimed at doctors?
We want to support cog. neuro/psy students & researchers from Ukraine fleeing from war and those trying to get away from Russia/Belarus in fear of persecution for their views. If you need help, let us know: https://t.co/cPGYYYhNMm. If you can help, also let us know. Details below
It's important to support those resisting within Russia just as much as those fighting in Ukraine. Here is a fund you can donate to for those arrested exercising their right to protest: https://t.co/EvKkajxFsS
