Delighted to play a small part in this tour de force from @Simon_CEChang et al ! Beautiful merger of many behavioral tasks, neural recordings, @cebraAI, opto & scRNA-seq across tasks to find flexibility (and some neg. valence stability) of neural ensembles in the amygdala 💪🔥

Imporant News! Dr. Procyk and I put together a conference on mechanisms of Foraging, Information seeking & Exploration. Location: Lyon France; December 2024 The lineup is beyond my expectations of truly amazing scientific minds Reg opens soon sites.google.com/view/foragingc…
To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice! Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side…
Great work, the first of @GabeffValentin PhD, which gives us a glimpse on what language models like CLIP can do to retrieve attributes and behaviour! Congrats to all the team! @TrackingPlumes @MarcCoru

How does computation in the brain evolve? In a new review I argue that studying retinal circuits across species may just hold some key answers: shorturl.at/wFMT9

What is the integrative logic of proprioception? Sensory information is collected in muscle spindles distributed in the body, but how is the information integrated. We took a computational approach to this problem... cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
🎉 Beyond thrilled to be awarded an @snsf_ch grant with/@TrackingPlumes! This work will push our development of joint modeling of behavioral & neural dynamics during naturalistic behavior! Watch out @DeepLabCut & @cebraAI 🔥— new developments coming for you! We are hiring!
Check out our (newly published) paper on active learning (AL) for discrete latent variables. We show AL can speed up learning even in a simple mixture-of-linear -regression models, as well as more interesting models like GLM-HMM!

1.7M Followers 742 Following Official account for Harvard University. Devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.Our findings shed light on the intricate molecular and neural mechanisms underlying behavioural integration in the extended amygdala (particular in the IPACL region) and offer insights into potential disease pathways. 7/n
We performed single-cell RNAseq on these ensembles, revealed that while they share similar cell types, the differential gene expression (DGE) among them are enriched in human GWAS hits for psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. 6/n
Next, we employed activity-dependent labelling with FOSTRAP2 mice, confirming the flexibility of these ensembles. Subsequently, leveraging optogenetics, we elucidated the behavioural impacts associated with these ensembles, revealing their specific influence on behaviours. 5/n
This allowed us to categorize neurons into distinct ensembles. With longitudinal registration, we showed neurons are overlapped between ensembles. Notably, while neurons are flexible in their encodings, those encoding negative experiences displayed greater stability. 4/n
We then implemented CEBRA (nature.com/articles/s4158…), which jointly uses both behavioural and neural data to obtain embeddings to identify the behavioural cues shaping neural activity. 3/n
We investigate how neurons in the extended amygdala (IPACL region) process and integrate multiple behavioural stimuli. We performed calcium imaging in IPACL of freely moving animals, we subjected them to six distinct contexts. 2/n
Check out my latest preprint with @FermaniFederica and @caina89: “Molecular and neural mechanisms of behavioural integration in the extended-amygdala”, now on biorxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n
We would like to thank our co-authors for all their efforts @Lianyun_Huang, Mackenzie Mathis @TrackingActions , Steffen Schnider @stes_io, and Jan Deussing, and everyone who supported this work at @HelmholtzMunich and MPI Psychiatry! 8/8
