Activity in the M2 predicts upcoming choices. But what does the activity represent? A gaze-centered plan? A world-centered goal? A specific movement? We asked rats to plan responses to different targets from different start position to find out! 1/5

“You can’t just be confident, you have to be confident about something.”

Research led by @erlichlab and Xiaoyue Zhu set out to disentangle the different kinds of confidence by designing a perceptual gambling task for rodents.

Finally! This is the version of record; it's also the version to read, thanks to the review process at eLife. The finding was out of reach before macaque Neuropixels. @eLife: Direct observation of the neural computations underlying a single decision https://t.co/oYkmbL5fl0

The self and world centred information was multiplexed at the single neuron level as a position gain field modulating directional tuning! Read the paper to find of more details! 5/5

We could decode the 2D position and direction but planning was done preferentially in self-centred direction coordinates 4/5

Join us tomorrow as we hear from Professor Nachum Ulanovsky (@WeizmannScience) on the importance of using natural behaviours in neuroscience research illustrated by his studies of neural codes for spatial and social behaviours in flying bats! Register now: https://t.co/xgzElc7mv3

How do neural circuits generate flexible, cognitive behaviours? The @AnnDuan2 lab and @erlichlab are looking for 2⃣ excellent postdoctoral research fellows to join the team. Check out the vacancies and apply by 25 May: https://t.co/gBEk3fuWhh

@efharkin_ @SussilloDavid @JoeVero_ @Neuro_Skeptic The fully realistic model would enable testing drugs/perturbations in a way that a latent factor model might not.

I'll be giving a talk this Thursday, March 14 at @SWC_Neuro in a workshop about gambling disorders. https://t.co/8b3frR59VN

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

[Athena Akrami @AthenaAkrami]

Come work with us at @SWC_Neuro! Multiple postdoc positions (both theory & experiment) are available in my group, to study computational & neural principles of statistical learning in the brain (of mice, rats, humans). Apply until March 18. Please share!

Want to flexibly manipulate many cortical regions, but don't know how to build a random access optogenetics system? We present Zapit: an #opensource hardware and user-friendly software system to make this technology more widely available. Our preprint: https://t.co/keOHQVhpUl

🚨First preprint from the lab!! All credit goes to @cesca_gst & @HernyMV who co-led this project. https://t.co/5eqppysezR

We show that movement-related striatal dopamine signals encode an action prediction error, a value free teaching signal.

@CosyneMeeting are there childcare options?
