Cell assemblies are drawing increasing attention in neuroscience, but one could argue that they are just an epiphenomenon. Is the activity of cell assemblies relevant for the brain?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is in our paper, now online at PLOS Biology. 🧵👇 1/10

Adaptive communication between cell assemblies and “reader” neurons shapes flexible brain dynamics
Cell assemblies have been proposed as key units of brain activity, underlying diverse functions, but their basic features are not well understood. This study shows that interactions between cell assem...

@noehamou.bsky.social and @gautamreddy.bsky.social (with a little bit of help from me) have written a really interesting theoretical paper on associative learning (in particular Pavlovian conditioning):

Reconciling time and prediction error theories of associative learning
Learning involves forming associations between sensory events that have a consistent temporal relationship. Influential theories based on prediction errors explain numerous behavioral and neurobiologi...
