Distributed neural computation and the evolution of the first brains https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.03.680388v1

Can a single cell learn? Even without a brain, some microbes show simple forms of cognition. Can this basal cognition be engineered? Check our new paper with @jordiplam.bsky.social on the minimal synthetic circuits & their cognitive limits. @drmichaellevin.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Selfishly, I’ll plug our tool LLM agent in system #AmadeusGPT - which lets you vibe code your behavioral analysis ;) and even gives you interpretable and verifiable outputs!

One hundred years ago, a 23-year-old postdoc named Werner Heisenberg completed a calculation that would become the heart of quantum mechanics, a radical yet stunningly accurate theory of the atomic and subatomic world.

We were asked to write a commentary on NeuroAI for Nat. Rev. Neuro. with Sadra Sadeh, so here it is: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How does the structure of a neural circuit shape its function?

@neuralreckoning.bsky.social & I explore this in our new preprint:

I finally had time to update PyCX to ver. 1.2! Many new models and bug fixes. Enjoy!!
github.com/hsayama/PyCX

We're hiring,, of interest to people in spiking neural networks and neuromorphic particularly. See below. 👇

Note the deadline for applications is very soon! Apologies for this but various admin necessities made it unavoidable.

🧠 Gewebestrukturen aus dem Labor:
#Hirnorganoide sind ein Modellsystem des Gehirns und imitieren Teile der Hirnfunktion. Damit ermöglichen sie einen experimentellen Zugang zu Forschung am Organ. Ein Digitales Dossier gibt einen Überblick: interaktiv.leopoldina.org/hirnorganoide/

Finally published:
“Top-down and bottom-up neuroscience: overcoming the clash of research cultures”

Looking for ways to better understand different neuroscientific perspectives and enable productive collaborations

P.S.: Your work will be paid according to the standard CAU rates. 💶

Please get in touch if you want to find out more about the position. It will be based at CAU Kiel, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Information Engineering ⛵️⚡️. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Please have a look at my homepage to get an idea of what I‘ve been doing recently. Ideally you also find physics, biology and applied mathematics interesting. We will then find a project that aligns well with our (=yours and mine) individual interests.

Do you like neuronal networks and maybe also programming? 🧮🕸️💻
I am looking for a research assistant to work on the general topic of neuronal network models, either theoretically or with a link to specific model organisms. Please see below for more details. ⬇️

Episode #30 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On co-dependent excitatory and inhibitory plasticity – with Tim Vogels @tpvogels.bsky.social

theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn30

How can excitatory and inhibitory synaptic plasticity, co-exist in spiking neural network models? With co-dependence!

Got prov. approval for 2 major grants in Neuro-AI & Dynamical Systems Reconstruction, on learning & inference in non-stationary environments, out-of-domain generalization, and DS foundation models. To all AI/math/DS enthusiasts: Expect job announcements (PhD/PostDoc) soon! Feel free to get in touch.
