This was actually a pretty decent talk!!
Quite impressed with the results reported here, a cerebellar learning signal affects neocortex plasticity. In the context of credit assignment, this suggest a cross-system coordination of plasticity: elifesciences.org/articles/109...
I recommend this school to anyone interested in computation in the brain - it receives excellent reviews year after year, it is highly interactive and social, and the setting is remarkable.
New paper alert! 🚨
We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales
1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks
2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit
This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps.

Short-term plasticity is regulated by post synaptic mechanisms. Such a fun project with @danielchoquet.bsky.social and team! can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
There are approximately 1000 research groups on the #NIH campuses, including Steve Rosenberg's research group, which develops groundbreaking T-cell therapies for cancer.
Effectively all of those groups were suddenly prohibited from buying any (!) supplies last year.
That is on the leadership.
We think cortex might function like a JEPA. It looks like prediction errors in layer 2/3 are not computed against input (as is the idea in predictive processing), but against a representation in latent space (i.e. like in a JEPA arxiv.org/abs/2301.08243 or RPL doi.org/10.1101/2025...).
The hippocampal map has its own attentional control signal!
Our new study reveals that theta #sweeps can be instantly biased towards behaviourally relevant locations. See 📹 in post 4/6 and preprint here 👉

Il est essentiel de développer une réglementation efficace, des garde-fous sociaux et des solutions techniques comme celles que nous développons à @law-zero.bsky.social pour éviter les risques de l’IA tout en développant ses applications positives.

Our paper on the "Oneirogen hypothesis" is now up in its revised form on eLife!
This is the hypothesis that psychedelics induce a dream-like state, which we show via modelling could explain a variety of perceptual and learning effects from such drugs.

Wonderful news Friedemann!!! So well deserved. 🎉🎉🎉
Reminds me of the day there was a citizen motion against the proposed ban of an agriculture chemical. At one point people started asking : "who are those citizens?". Turns out it was Monsanto.
New preprint from the lab! For those who love astrocytes 🤩. We welcome feedback! #preprint #openaccess #astrocytes #autism

🥳Excited to share our latest human multipatch paper, now out in @natneuro.nature.com
🧠 We studied the cellular and synaptic physiology of human L2–3 pyramidal neurons and identified subtype-specific local connectivity rules across individuals.
