Why motor learning involves multiple systems: an algorithmic perspective biorxiv.org/content/10.648… #biorxiv_neursci

It also simulates human ERP responses to grammar. Overall, our rapid plasticity rules capture the structure-content duality of thought, unlike other neural networks. 6/6

The model runs in continuous time, and can encode words presented at variable speed. The synaptic rules predict lexical and syntactic priming seen in humans. It can learn syntax by very slow plasticity at the same synapses. Both order and morpheme-based grammars work. 5/6
English
Human thought follows structural rules, independent of what we are thinking about. We separate form & content. E.g, a sentence follows a given syntax, independently of its topic. How can the brain separate content from structure? 🧵on our preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6

Probably the coolest use of sin and cos functions you have ever seen!

In this short letter we explain why binding problems occur in the brain and why deep neural networks need to cope with them. We respond to Scholte and de Haan (TICS 2025), who previously claimed the opposite. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ljgr4sIRvW-…

@Pieters_Tweet Excellent response that echoed my thoughts! Fixed conjunctions not enough. My opinion is that the brain solves binding not through synchrony, but through rapidly changing selectivity. We showed that STP at the postsynaptic membrane would be enough: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC65…

Hirschbichler et al. find that DBS-induced VTA inhibition does not impair reinforcement learning, but does lead to more strategic betting behaviour. They propose that the VTA may help sustain reward-driven behaviours over time. tinyurl.com/ywym2u7d

So great to see high quality behavioural modelling together with population decoding!

How do animals learn new rules? By systematically testing diff. behavioral strategies, guided by selective attn. to rule-relevant cues: rdcu.be/etlRV Akin to in-context learning in AI, strategy selection depends on the animals' "training set" (prior experience).
