Excited and proud to share this work, now published in PNAS. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... In this work, we identify neuromodulation as a high-dimensional reconfiguration signal that not only changes individual functional properties but also the statistical architecture linking them.

What do #neuromodulators do in the #brain? Two recent papers give new insights: @nishantjoshi.bsky.social shows they do not only reshape individual cellular properties, but also the architecture linking them, thereby expanding the computational repertoire. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

This Thursday (Sept 10), we are going to welcome our next guest speaker to a hybrid talk to the caian: Join us in person/on zoom at 1 p.m. CET and hear Assoc. Prof. Fleur Zeldenrust talk about "Heterogeneity in the brain: lessons from theory and experiment". #caiantalks #neuroscience #brainscience

New preprint (well, very updated). 🤖🧠🧪 We find that an abstract model of neuromodulation lets spiking neural networks perform much better, particularly in challenging noisy environments, using less energy. Relevant to #neuroscience and #neuromorphic computing. 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

biorxiv.orgNeuromodulation enhances the capability and efficiency of spiking neural networksSpiking neurons underlie the brain’s extreme energy efficiency, and therefore have great potential in neuromorphic computing, although realising this efficiency in practice has proven challenging. We ...

🟠This Monday is King's Day in The Netherlands — turning the entire country orange!🟠 But does orange look the same to everyone? Or could it be that what looks orange to you, looks to your friend like what you see as purple? brainhelpdesk.nl/en/vraag/zie... By Eelke Spaak, @dondersinst.bsky.social

Why is no-one studying information theory anymore? Or is just no-one calling it that anymore?

I tracked every keyword in 22 years of Cosyne abstracts to map how computational neuroscience evolved — from Bayesian brains to neural manifolds to LLMs — and where it's heading next.

Join us in Woods Hole for Methods in Computational Neuroscience (MCN) at MBL (July 24–Aug 21). Four weeks of computational + systems neuroscience, hands-on training, and close interaction with an exceptional faculty.
