1/ Cortical organization is not mere biological detail. It is computational structure.

🔥New preprint: We harness measured cortical geometry, wiring, and function from MICrONS as inductive biases for RNNs — and they drive superior learning.

@neurovium Super cool!! Looking forward to all the chapters ... (🤞 they come out soon)

[Mo Shakiba @moneuron]

#NeuroCONNECT 🧠 wrapped today. Over the past few weeks I served as a TA, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect.

9/ For #neuroscience: these RNNs become a controlled testbed for reverse-engineering which features of cortical organization are computationally consequential. Structure scaffolds; function constrains.

Neuroscience is a global endeavor whose main promise is curing the many brain related diseases. Global collaboration is the key to that. I am so sad that our Iranian friends will, once again, be excluded.

From learners to collaborators; this group connected through #NeuromatchAcademy and continued their growing interest in #CompNeuro and #DeepLearning though the #ImpactScholars Program.

I spent the past three weeks serving as a TA for the Computational Neuroscience course from @neuromatch. I learned a lot from my students and I hope I was able to support them on their compneuro journey. This was truly a memorable experience. #Odin #Neuromatch2025
