Our first NeuroAgent! 🐟🧠

Excited to share new work led by the talented @reecedkeller.bsky.social, showing how autonomous behavior and whole-brain dynamics emerge naturally from intrinsic curiosity grounded in world models and memory.

Check it out here! 👇
1/ I'm excited to share recent results from my first collaboration with the amazing @anayebi.bsky.social
and @leokoz8.bsky.social !

We show how autonomous behavior and whole-brain dynamics emerge in embodied agents with intrinsic motivation driven by world models.

An awesome collaboration with @anayebi.bsky.social, led by the amazing @reecedkeller.bsky.social! The neural-glial circuit underlying futility integration in larval zebrafish naturally emerges in intrinsically motivated, embodied agents. See their excellent threads (+ the preprint) for the details!

I am very excited about our new paper just published in PNAS.

www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

It was a pleasure to work on this idea together with @leokoz8.bsky.social and Jean-Jacques Slotine.

Big week for astrocyte research: 3 new Science papers link astrocytes to behavior. We're excited to add to the momentum with our new PNAS paper: a theory, grounded in biology, proposing astrocytes as key players in memory storage and recall. w/ JJ Slotine and @krotov.bsky.social

Of interest to neuro people who are enchanted by oscillations: expect to see them any time your neuron(s) are involved in regulating a signal...
