Compressed Cortical Input Separates Control from Dynamics in Striatum

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Sreejan Kumar, Matthieu B Le Cauchois, Alexander Mathis, Lea Duncker, Jonathon R. Howlett and Marcelo G. Mattar | Summary: The dorsolateral striatum (DLS) supports diverse time-sensitive behaviors—action chunking, duration estimation, and motor timing—yet no single framework is able to explain all of these phenomena. Here, we propose that the […]

Novel visuomotor adaptation paradigm reveals a role of visual cortex in the plasticity of innate behaviors in mice

Kavli Affiliate: Massimo Scanziani | Authors: Ellery Jones and Massimo Scanziani | Summary: A long-standing hypothesis in sensory neuroscience suggests that the evolutionary expansion of cortex in mammals may contribute to sensory-dependent adaptation by acting on subcortical pathways that drive innate behavior. However, direct experimental evidence is lacking. Taking the visual system as a model, […]

Multiscale Hyperbolic Embedding Reveals Hierarchical Structure in Complex Biological Systems

Kavli Affiliate: Tatyana Sharpee | Authors: Mingchen Yao, Anoop Praturu and Tatyana Sharpee | Summary: The rapid expansion of biological and computational datasets demands scalable methods that support both visualization and quantitative interpretation. Hyperbolic embeddings are well suited to represent hierarchical structure, but existing approaches are limited by fixed curvature assumptions or poor scalability to […]

Balancing Stability and Flow in Hippocampal Networks via Inductive Bias and Learned Symmetry Breaking

Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Margot Wagner, Yusi Chen, Arjun Karuvally, Mia Cameron and Terrence J Sejnowski | Summary: The hippocampus must balance stable memory representations with internally generated sequential dynamics underlying replay and prediction. How hippocampal circuitry achieves both remains unclear. Here, we show that recurrent neural networks trained on prediction tasks converge […]

Learning to select computations in recurrent neural circuits

Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Sixing Chen, Frederick Callaway, Sreejan Kumar, Shira M. Lupkin, Joni D. Wallis, Vincent B. McGinty, Erin L. Rich and Marcelo G. Mattar | Summary: Two hallmarks of biological computation are its flexibility and efficiency. These features are often attributed to cognitive control processes that balance external utility against computational […]
