Wild mammal biomass has declined by 85% since the rise of humans. Today, humans represent aproximately 34% of global mammal biomass, while 62% is humans' livestock and pets. Wild mammals are just 4% [read more: ourworldindata.org/mammals]

Excited to share a new Current Opinion piece written by @NKadmonHarpaz , @BOlveczky, and myself! tinyurl.com/4hbu4mdx In it, we discuss how neural circuits support motor sequence learning. Read on for a short 🧵!

Very excited to present my latest work with @replayprof and Matt Kleinman at #COSYNE22 during poster session 3, titled “Single cell measures of tuning to imagined position during replay show enhanced spatial coding and quenched neural variability.” [3-064]

Here, we repurpose an old metric from @aa_fenton and Bob Muller (1998) to show that the high variability characteristic of place cells during run is absent during replay. In fact, spiking was found to be highly regularized (sub-Poisson).

We then show that this sub-Poisson spiking regularity is a specific signature of only one type of replay model: spike frequency adaptation-driven replay in a bump continuous attractor network (e.g., Hopfield, 2011).

Need to pimp your behavioral analysis with modelling? Applications are now open for BAMB!, where we’ll teach you all the tricks for modelling behavioral data, from standard regressions to fitting/validating/interpreting/comparing DDMs, RL, Bayesian & hierarchical models.
