Congratulations to Nicolas Brunel!🎉 He receives the Valentin Braitenberg Award for #Computational #Neuroscience 2023. The award ceremony will take place during the #BernsteinConference. 👉bernstein-network.de/en/newsroom/ne… @DukeNeuro @DukeU @LandSuedtirol #BernsteinNetwork
A piece of history to contextualise this better -- 'Camelford water pollution', UK's worst water poisoning in modern time, and how Simon Wessely got that wrong too. In 1988, 20 tonnes of aluminium sulphate was poured into the wrong water tank. 1/ google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

The news about 227 parliament members in Iran, who've called on Judiciary to issue death sentences for 15,000+ arrested protestors, should not normalize the very real news that 21 got death penalty in sham trials, so far. #WomanLifeFreedom #NoToExecution amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

If you're a professor or a student in STEM in a Western country, you probably know someone from the Sharif University of Technology in Iran. They might have be your students, peers, or friends. That university is now under attack by the Islamic Republic. 🧵(1/16) #MahsaAmini
Last night, the Islamic regime's goons have raided my alma mater, #SharifUniversity, putting campus under siege, indiscriminately beating, mass arresting, and shooting at students. Be the voice of #IranRevolution. Ask ur reps/govs to stop negotiating with this regime. #MahsaAmini
In addition to being the last day of the main COSYNE meeting and the first day of spring, it is also Persian New Year! Happy Nowruz to those who celebrate, especially @IRNSC_official!
Why do we see both sequential and persistent activity (ie dynamic coding) in PFC during working memory? In our new paper, we show that the optimal way to load information into working memory results in exactly these observed dynamics. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/5

Elad Schneidman in his Ph.D. thesis with Idan Segev showed that stochasticity of Na+ channels contributed considerable variability to spike generator& explained M&S results. Basic intuition: ~50 channels open@threshold, fluctuations +/- sqrt(50) ~15%. direct.mit.edu/neco/article-a…
@kendmil exactly as i wrote "High synaptic unreliability can nonetheless lead to reliable spikes in slice and in vivo if inputs are highly synchronous. So reliability can emerge at the circuit level" This is what part of why auditory cortex neurons fire reliably x.com/TonyZador/stat…
Underlying this precision is a synchronized sound-evoked wave of excitation (green) followed by a wave of inhibition (red), so only a single spike can squeeze its way through (Wehr & Zador, 2003) nature.com/articles/natur… 2/
@TonyZador Mainen & Sejnowski showed spiking was reliable as long as input was time-varying *w sufficient peak-to-peak amplitude*. Here 100 on x-axis is ~25mV p2p; reliability is % of spikes occurring in stereotyped "events". As p2p drops from 25 to 12.5 to 6.25mV & below, reliability drops
A pet peeve: Mainen & Sejnowski 1995 is constantly quoted as saying spike generation is reliable, not a source of variability. It did not show that at all. It showed reliability for very large voltage fluctuations - which might mean driving well above threshold (wasn't clear) 1/

@partha_mitra Personally I don't buy that deterministic chaos plays much role in brain function. The brain is an open system. Moreover, it functions despite disturbances. The chaos brain is just a convenient bin for the circumstantial combo of nonlinearity, scale and complex dynamics IMO.
