Connectome suggests brain’s synaptic weights follow heavy-tailed distributions, yet most analyses of RNNs assume Gaussian connectivity. 

🧵⬇️ Our @alleninstitute.org #NeurIPS2025 paper shows heavy-tailed weights can strongly affect dynamics, trade off robustness + attractor dimension.
🤠 We are in Upper Level Room 10!
We are over the moon to be joined by so many engaging colleagues across neuro, cog sci, and machine learning, including Terry Sejnowski! #NeurIPS2025
