1/12 What if monkeys could have a language model too? 🐒💬

Our EMNLP 2025 paper introduces GmSLM — a Generative Marmoset Spoken Language Model.

A pipeline for modeling, generating, and evaluating vocal behavior, trained on marmoset vocalizations. 👇

What makes human pyramidal neurons uniquely suited for complex information processing? How can human neurons’ distinct properties contribute to our advanced cognitive abilities?

🧠 Updated my open-source SWC Neuron Morphology Editor (runs directly in-browser!)—now with 3D views & custom segment colors (e.g., toggle axons). Demo uses @AllenInstitute MICrONS data. Can't wait to animate neurons for talks!

That’s my son on the floor, getting kicked in the head !
I don’t think I can get angrier than I am right now…

Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, exhibit more complex branching patterns, and feature distinctly nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons.

Do these unique characteristics make human neurons more functionally complex?
Would that enhance the capability of the human brain to perform complex computational tasks?
Is this what makes us human?

In our new preprint (see below) with @danielayoeli, @DavidBeniaguev, Christiaan de Kock, @mikilon, and @Segev_Lab we use deep learning to tackle these questions by comparing the complexity of neurons’ input-output (I/O) functions using our newly developed Functional Complexity Index (FCI) tool.

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye!

The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos!

I'm excited to share the publication of @GalAtlan 's final PhD project.
Title is accurate for the take-home message, yet, there is a lot more to the paper, including the association of claustrum activity to individual variance in strategy. Check it out:

מוזמנים בחום!
אחרי כל הרצאה יהיה דיון משמעותי, על בסיס שאלות מהקהל.

בגאווה ישראלית גדולה בירכתי היום את פרופסור חיים סומפולינסקי מהאוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים על זכייתו בפרס Lundbeck היוקרתי - הפרס החשוב ביותר בעולם בתחום חקר המוח. מדובר בהישג ישראלי פורץ דרך, שמשקף את מצוינות האקדמיה הישראלית במחקר ובכלל.

אני סמוך ובטוח כי בעקבותיו יבואו עוד אותות ופרסים שיוקירו את תרומתם של ישראליות וישראלים לקהילה המדעית העולמית, ומקווה ופועל לכך שנדע להכיר תודה - כחברה וכמדינה - לענקי האקדמיה והמחקר שלנו.

Compare a typical brain with a typical modern day datacenter

The datacenter mostly runs Artificial Intelligence applications, the brain mostly runs regular intelligence applications

The datacenter consumes the power of a small town, the brain consumes the occasional banana

If you’re curious about whether and how you can use waveform and spiking information to predict the cell-type of an extracellularly recorded neuron, 1) yes you can, and 2) check out our preprint to find out! We cracked it for the major cell types of the cerebellum cortex. 1/5 🧵

ההתקפה על האקדמיה אינה מקרית. אקדמיה חופשית היא בלם למשטר שפועל לא לטובת הציבור אלא באופן שרירותי, לקידום אינטרסים אישיים ומגזריים קצרי טווח. זו הסיבה שאנשי האקדמיה מחויבים כל כך למאבק בהפיכה המשטרית. הסבר בטור שלי היום ב @ynetnews
