How widespread are our memories stored in the brain?
Our new study, open access in @NatureNeuro, investigates how category learning changes neuronal representations in mouse visual cortical areas. (1/8)

Are you attending FENS 2024? Do you care about generalisation vs specificity?
Join our symposium: S22 Generalisation of neuronal codes across behaviours, contexts and stimuli
Thursday 27th Jun 9:45 in Hall F
Speakers: @Luthi_FMI @caroline_runyan @mmf_89 @sandra_tanja

In case you haven't seen it yet, the poster session still lasts another 45 minutes! Great work from @daniellepaynter @MPIforBI
I get to present our poster about two-timeframe monosynaptic rabies tracing and visual system plasticity this afternoon (Wednesday) at #FENS2024, PS02-26PM-137. Come by! 😊😊 @MPIforBI @t_bonhoeffer @MHuebener @xpieter

Training doesn’t have to be slow. 303km/h, ok @DB_Bahn, you’ve definitely made your point 😊

Scientists of Twitter! The world needs more reminders that we're living, breathing human beings.
I was tempted to post a picture of me doing not-science, but my spouse confirmed that no one wants to see a picture of me napping on a weekend afternoon.

Curious about how maps form in the visual system? Check out our new preprint “Retinal origin of orientation but not direction selective maps in the superior colliculus” biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…, led by @DMalmazet and me, with @Chen___Li. @FarrowLab @__NERF @BiologyKULeuven 1/5

How do the mouse prefrontal cortex and higher visual areas represent a learned category over time? Check out the Q&A with SWC Seminar speaker Dr Pieter Goltstein (@xpieter @MPIforBI): sainsburywellcome.org/web/qa…
ALT Visual category learning in mice. A) Schematic showing a head-fixed experimental setup for visual learning in mice. B, C) Example two-dimensional stimulus space with an information-integration category boundary and the categorization performance of an example mouse. D) Stimulus space with a rule-based category boundary. E) Example rule-based categorization performance. F) Generalization of the learned category rule (novel versus familiar stimuli).
Come and see our poster on ocular dominance columns in mouse visual cortex! This afternoon (Tue) at #SfN22, board R14. @DavidLaubender @t_bonhoeffer @MHuebener @MPIforBI

Join us tomorrow for two SWC Seminars! At 10am in-person and online, Dr Pieter Goltstein (@xpieter, @MPIforBI) will speak about how category-defining associations are represented in the brain: sainsburywellcome.org/web/ev… 1/2
Of course, many neurons responded already selectively to stimulus properties before learning. Using the GLM kernels, we disentangled tuning for visual features (orientation/spatial freq) from tuning for categories. Area POR showed the strongest increase in category tuning. (7/8)
