figure 5 is absolutely unbelievable. i have never seen a simulation capture more independent features of the results of an experiment

interesting perspective. downthread discussion of how that plays out in policy
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got, delivered by a wise person while I was fuming over a parking ticket: "3% of your income is for mistakes. If it's too much over, you're too sloppy. If it's too much under, you're sweating the smalls stuff too much."
Excellent work providing evidence for the Hidden State Inference framework proposed in our 2020 eLife paper. The figures in this paper are beautiful. Check out their supplemental figures for an even more compelling review of the morph box literature.
I am very excited to share the main project from my graduate work with @lisa_giocomo that is out in @NatureNeuro today! Hippocampal place cell remapping across environments might simply reflect the animal's best guess of the environment identity. This guess depends on experience.

lololol. a scam artist gets his comeuppance
Carlo Croce, a scientist at @OhioState who has lost two libel suits, has now been sued twice for unpaid legal bills >$1.5 million. Turns out that one set of attorneys only agreed to represent him if he used his house as collateral. Thread. retractionwatch.com/wp-conte…

New work with an outstanding undergrad, Parsa Nilchian. "Heterogeneity in animals’ remapping behavior is structured: animals’ remapping behavior is consistent across a range of independent comparisons. Remapping between environments depends on animal-specific factors."

really solid implementation of a network that can learn to transfer relational structure between different environments, even for non-spatial relationships!

Popular press explainer of my recent @eLife article
What prompts the brain to create a new map of the environment? In a recent @eLife study, @honisanders, Prof. Matt Wilson, and @gershbrain suggest “remapping” can be mathematically modeled as a feat of probabilistic reasoning. Via @MIT_Picower: bit.ly/3gzR00O

Relates to empirical findings ranging from Experience-dependence of remapping to Morph experiments to Partial/Rate remapping to Animal variability.
