📣Excited to share our preprint on excitatory morphological cell types in mouse visual cortex led by Marissa Weis. In this paper, we describe a set of principles that capture the morphological diversity excitatory neurons. A thread: (1/10)

LLMs will change *everything* for teaching. I want to develop a set of procedures for @neuromatch to utilize their potential. So looking to build a (volunteer) group to build a suite of tools that use LLMs to improve teaching. Broadly construed. DM me if interested.

We use #DeepLearning to study single-cell invariance in 🐭 V1 and discover a new form of bipartite invariance that may play a role in object boundary detection.

The only thing I love more than neuroscience is... teaching neuroscience.
Here's a video series of my undergrad “Intro to Neuro” class. Adding new topics regularly. Check them out!

The noisy review process tipped in our favor! Huge congratulations to @NeuroPavi and co-authors on the COSYNE poster acceptance. And looking forward to seeing some fun science in Montreal 🎉
Amy Orsborn, PhD 👩🔬🐵@neuroamyo
Good luck to everyone submitting cosyne abstracts. May the slightly noisy review process be in your favor! Crossing fingers I and the lab will finally get to go...

So many new labs starting this fall👏✨ #newPI pro tip: whatever time, money, and effort you invest in solid data management pipelines and git controlled code is worth it. When I started 5 years ago (today), it was a priority and it’s so, so worth it. #BetterCodeBetterResearch

Simulation-based inference (SBI) has accelerated model-building across many disciplines. It’s also useful for studying cognition: We present Mixed Neural Likelihood Estimation, an SBI method tailored to models of decision-making! By @janfiete @janmatthis @_rdgao @jakhmack

👏👏 Definitely the right decision to use this method for DDM parameter inference if you care about reducing your electricity consumption - which I hope is all of you reading this 🌎🔥 congrats @_rdgao @janmatthis @jakhmack and in particular congrats @janfiete
Machine Learning in Science@mackelab
MNLE is highly simulation-efficient: We apply it to two variants of the drift-diffusion model of decision-making and show that it infers accurate and well-calibrated posteriors, but requires only 10^5 training simulations where a previously developed method needed 10^11!🚀🚀 3/5

Thanks @FENSorg & @EJNeuroscience for the award-it’s an honor to lecture on our motor learning work & #deeplearning tools to aid in this quest: @DeepLabCut @cebraAI.
Thanks to my mentors who taught me to be a scientist: T. Jessell, H. Wichterele, @naoshigeuchida @MatthiasBethge

Congrats to @NeuroPavi for presenting her work @ AREADNE! She's looking at credit assignment learning in BCI at both the neuron and population levels. Surprisingly, initial results suggest learning leads to relatively sparse but high-dimensional solutions!

Can you guess what's hidden in these images? How did you arrive at the solution? Can we build AI algorithms that solve it in a similar way?
We developed a new dataset to investigate the iterative generation and refinement of perceptual hypotheses.🧵
