What do moonwalking flies teach us about fear, avoidance, and the brain? Come to my short talk and lab visit in #nyc@ZuckermanBrain@Columbia next Tues 7pm to find out!

Interested in dopaminergic learning, interaction of appetitive and aversive learning systems, & history-dependent modulation of learning? Come by my #cosyne2026 poster tomorrow! Now with a general model also applicable to striatal learning in mammals.
This was such a great project led by the hard-working PhD student @fatima1amin and @syncrostone from Gerber and Litwin-Kumar labs and further collab with @ikadow, @OwaldD, @SalilBidaye labs.
We demonstrate circuit mechanisms for action🏃♀️--> ☹️valence relationships in Drosophila!
Exciting postdoc position between the labs of @lengyel_m + @GJEHennequin (Cambridge U) and @DMWolpert (Columbia U) to study the neural network mechanisms of context-dependent (continual) motor learning. Máté and I will be at Cosyne, come talk to us! https://t.co/ihBcer1SH9
Just landed in Lisbon🇵🇹 for #Cosyne2024! Stop by my poster tonight to chat about dopamine, reinforcement learning, drosophila, and avoidance behavior serving as reinforcement.
[1-129] Reinforcement of valence through action
(1/6) A violinist and former synchronized swimmer, Jasmine Stone has spent a lot of time considering not only how we learn to move, but how our movements inform our learning. 🎻🧠 🏓
📷 Stone explains how brain networks are connected.
A fantastic course with a great tradition! Honored to direct it together with @roozbeh_kiani. Thanks to Xiao-Jing Wang, Steve Baccus and all the previous directors, and of course, thanks to the @MBLScience team. Apply here: https://t.co/58WScApR6g
Apply to join MBL's Computational Neuroscience Course! Learn from experienced lecturers, dive into hands-on exercises, join a vibrant community, and enjoy a delightful summer month in scenic Woods Hole. Deadline: Feb 28. Help spread the word!
Recently wrote an introduction to reinforcement learning for neuroscience that I just put on arXiv for those who might find it useful: https://t.co/ju05RiROCs
It also includes a Google Colab with all the code: https://t.co/zxXOXNH9gS
I am very excited to announce that I will start my own lab at the Grossman Center at @UChicago_Brains in late winter 2024! I am looking forward to working alongside with its members and the rest of the Dept. of Neurobiology. I'll start hiring soon, reach out if interested!
We are delighted to announce that Dr Agostina Palmigiano (@APalmigiano) will join the Gatsby Unit as Lecturer in January, developing data-driven theoretical approaches to uncover neural mechanisms underlying cognitive functions.

Very excited to share our recent work w/ @kao_calvin & @GJEHennequin! We investigated when & why motor preparation arises in RNN models of motor control. Is preparation optimal for RNNs performing delayed reaching tasks? Spoiler: it is! (1/5) https://t.co/EuaEQ3uGdw
