This work reshaped my understanding of population coding in olfaction (hint: untangling of odor manifolds). Grateful to everyone who made it possible. Hope you enjoy reading it! 🧠👃

The results of this work have changed my view of olfactory cortex function, and of autoassociative memory in general. Great work by @AloeJrny, @nztemiz1, et al in a wonderful collaboration with Chi-Ning Chou and @s_y_chung. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Representational learning by optimization of neural manifolds in an olfactory memory network

Higher brain functions depend on experience-dependent representations of relevant information that may be organized by attractor dynamics or by geometrical modifications of continuous “neural...

"Neural Manifolds" have become increasingly widespread in neuroscience (&AI), but we are far from having a unified framework. Here are some resources I've found particularly insightful about what neural manifolds are and the role they play in computation in neural systems: 🧵1/14

Are you a fan of zebrafish but miss viral tools to trace and manipulate neurons? Then check out this paper about viral gene transfer and transneuronal rabies tracing. Great work by Chie Satou with contributions from many others. Thanks to all! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.77153

A former postoc in @RainerFriedri12 lab, @KuoHuaHuang1 receives the Ruth Chiquet Prize for Ingenuity. Kuo created a virtual reality tool to manipulate environment and behaviors in zebrafish, which could help study key mechanisms of brain function. Congrats! #FMIAnnualMeeting2021

Using viral approaches for zebrafish has always been difficult (AAVs don't work). Turns out that some viruses (HSV1 and rabies) can be used in zebrafish - if the fish are held at ~36°C. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A viral toolbox for conditional and transneuronal gene expression in zebrafish

Zebrafish are an important model in systems neuroscience but a key limitation is the lack of viral tools to interrogate the structure and function of neuronal circuitry. We developed methods for...

It means you could reconstruct the activity of all neurons from a subset. It's a direct consequence of this preprint, which we will soon update with more math: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

High-dimensional geometry of population responses in visual cortex

A neuronal population encodes information most efficiently when its activity is uncorrelated and high-dimensional, and most robustly when its activity is correlated and lower-dimensional. Here, we...
