We've studied a lot how synaptic plasticity refines mammalian circuits. But in the development of the Drosophila nociceptive system other factors might play a bigger role to maintain synaptic density during development. Check out this work led by Ingo and André www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Synaptic density and relative connectivity conservation maintain circuit stability across development
As bodies grow during postembryonic and postnatal development, nervous systems must expand to preserve circuit integrity. To investigate how circuits retain stable wiring and function throughout devel...

Very happy to share this preprint from the lab led by @cmiehl.bsky.social, Sebastian and Maurycy on how to flexibly learn with nonlinear dendrites and inhibitory context-dependent gating, putting biological detail in ANNs. Check out Christoph's post below for a preview or the paper for more details!

Excited to share our new preprint in which we propose a biologically plausible mechanistic solution to the problem of how the brain can flexibly learn and store new representations without forgetting previously learned information.

Assembly-based computations through contextual dendritic gating of plasticity
Neuronal assemblies — groups of strongly connected neurons — are considered the basic building blocks of perception and memory in the brain by encoding representations of specific concepts. Despite re...

Happy to share our new preprint! We show how cell-type-specific synaptic scaling mechanisms shape memory representations during associative learning and highlight a critical role of top-down inputs in modulating this process. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Cell-type-specific synaptic scaling mechanisms differentially contribute to associative learning
Excitatory synaptic scaling regulates network dynamics by proportionally adjusting excitatory synaptic strengths after sensory perturbations. During associative learning, blocking excitatory scaling i...

Recruiting postdocs! Please get in touch if you wanna discuss projects on biologically plausible learning in RNNs through TUM's global postdoctoral fellowship. I'll be at Cosyne this year if you wanna talk more. www.tum.de/ueber-die-tu...

I don't think that's the case... Experimentalists will continue to care about models that can be directly related to data. But maybe it depends on how we define CompNeuro vs NeuroAI...

Excited to uncover the mechanistic basis of feedback-driven computations in the cortex, inspired by connectomic and functional data supported by an ERC Consolidator Grant #ERCCoG. Thank you for the support European Research Council! Open positions coming soon...
