Neuroscientist interested in mechanisms of learning.

@MartinMeyerTBP Thank you Martin! That is wonderful to hear, and I am sure there are many more like me who need to hear it. I am happy to say that I found an industry job where I can do computational neuroscience research for AI. Onwards!

[Konstantinos Lagogiannis @klagojohn]

So the time came to bid farewell to @dev_neuro, but also the end of an era for me in academic research.

[Konstantinos Lagogiannis @klagojohn]

This moment also marked the unofficial (emotional) end of the Meyer lab, pictured here at its prime on a walk at 7 Sisters. I am wanted to thank @MartinMeyerTBP for this amazing journey. I am grateful for his trust and the support I got to grow as a scientist.🙏

I could not have asked for a better graduation. Many thanks for the gifts @jbneuro lab and hope we keep in touch @dev_neuro

@neurojoy @dev_neuro @jbneuro Thank you Anatoly! Back to computational neuroscience and applying it to machine vision.

@dominicburrows_ @dev_neuro @jbneuro Same! you are brilliant and have amazing things happening ahead.

Propagating neuronal avalanches give rise to chaotic and sticky dynamics at the macroscale during epileptic seizures ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Pleased to say that my paper is now published @SfNJournals

@dominicburrows_ @SfNJournals Congratulations Dom!!

@ZebrafishRock we have a UAS:GCamp7f, thanks to @ibianco3

The nature vs. nurture divide is likely confusing: Animals are born with a set of potentialities innately developed to different degrees; yet their ontogeny relies on learning. Skills that show as innate programs would rely on learning to develop in efficiency, accuracy&precisn

[Tony Zador @TonyZador]

paper out! "most animal behavior is not the result of clever learning algorithms but is encoded in the genome. Specifically, animals are born with highly structured brain connectivity, which must be compressed through a “genomic bottleneck”. https://t.co/9i0Nnpnrs6

[Konstantinos Lagogiannis @klagojohn]

@TonyZador concept of potentiality is useful here. Animals are born with a set of potentialities innately developed to different degrees; yet their ontogeny relies on learning. Even for behaviours that show as innate programs, these likely still rely on learning to develop fully in skill.

Our review on the emergence and plasticity of the beautiful axo-axonic synapses formed by Chandelier cells is finally out. @bcompans @MRC_CNDD @dev_neuro @wellcometrust @MSCActions https://t.co/hpqMWRAtMj

Quite excited to present at one of my favourite online semiar series tomorrow - they even upgraded me to Prof 😜

Attention can enhance responses in sensory areas, and this is a pretty fundamental cognitive process, but how does this happen? Check out the latest preprint from our lab which tackles this question, led by the amazing Dylan Myers-Joseph! @DMyersJoseph https://t.co/3R1aCRZObM

@yaksi_emre indeed a catastrophe of shocking devastation that caught people in their sleep - I wish for a wave of solidarity of similar historical magnitude to help soften the blow.

@philipcball I agree with the view taken from Aristotle's metaphysics, that the beneficial certainly has a place, and an animal's purpose is to flourish by reaching its potentialities in full. Yet for #Aristotle everything has a #telos or purpose.
