The Max Planck Society is good at attracting international postdocs but struggles to retain them, survey finds.

An international collaboration between researchers at the PRBB and at Yale University shows how genetic alterations happening during early neurodevelopment can translate into neurological pathologies later in life.

Humans and other animals learn the abstract structure of a task and then use this structure to rapidly generalize to new situations. A recent study reveals how the brain builds and uses abstract task ...

How do the two main types of neural dynamics, aperiodic transients and oscillations, contribute to the interactions between feedforward (FF) and feedback (FB) pathways in sensory inference and predictive processing? We discuss three theoretical perspectives. First, we critically evaluate the theory that gamma and alpha/beta rhythms play a role in classic hierarchical predictive coding (HPC) by mediating FF and FB communication, respectively. Second, we outline an alternative functional model in which rapid sensory inference is mediated by aperiodic transients, whereas oscillations contribute to the stabilization of neural representations over time and plasticity processes. Third, we propose that the strong dependence of oscillations on predictability can be explained based on a biologically plausible alternative to classic HPC, namely dendritic HPC.

Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

Daily neuroscience-related posts on the social-media platform this week have increased more than 400 percent, on average, compared with October.
