Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks

Despite some ups and downs at NIH, we do have an open position for a postbac and are considering candidates.
Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and we aim to understand how the brain's densely connected recurrent networks operate. 🧪

Cool seeing the new stuff you have been working on! We miss you on the other side though!

AntonioFR @antferrui.bsky.social · Mar 18

It should be working now 😅

AntonioFR @antferrui.bsky.social · Mar 17

This was only possible due to the work of an amazing team: first authors Wenbo Tang and @hongyuchang.bsky.social, with Can Liu, Salma Perez, Willian Zheng, Jaehyo Park. And of course @azayhara.bsky.social 😍

We believe that these findings advance a new framework to explain how the hippocampus achieves rapid generalization while also preserving the specificity of individual experiences. Check out the preprint for many more details:

Generalizing from experience and applying prior knowledge to new situations is essential for intelligent behavior. Traditional models attribute this generalization to gradual statistical learning in t...
