[HTML][HTML] A cellular basis for map** behavioural structure

M El-Gaby, AL Harris, JCR Whittington, W Dorrell… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
To flexibly adapt to new situations, our brains must understand the regularities in the world,
as well as those in our own patterns of behaviour. A wealth of findings is beginning to reveal …

Flexible task abstractions emerge in linear networks with fast and bounded units

K Sandbrink, J Bauer, A Proca… - Advances in …, 2025 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Animals survive in dynamic environments changing at arbitrary timescales, but such data
distribution shifts are a challenge to neural networks. To adapt to change, neural systems …

[HTML][HTML] Practice Reshapes the Geometry and Dynamics of Task-tailored Representations

A Kikumoto, K Shibata, T Nishio, D Badre - bioRxiv, 2024 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Extensive practice makes task performance more efficient and precise, leading to
automaticity. However, theories of automaticity differ on which levels of task representations …

Communication subspace dynamics of the canonical olfactory pathway

J Gonzalez, P Torterolo, KA Bolding, ABL Tort - iScience, 2024 - cell.com
Understanding how different brain areas communicate is crucial for elucidating the
mechanisms underlying cognition. A possible way for neural populations to interact is …

Episodic memory supports the acquisition of structured task representations

Q Lu, A Hummos, KA Norman - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Generalization to new tasks requires learning of task representations that accurately reflect
the similarity structure of the task space. Here, we argue that episodic memory (EM) plays an …

Data mining the functional architecture of the brain's circuitry

AS Charles - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.09684, 2025 - arxiv.org
The brain is a highly complex organ consisting of a myriad of subsystems that flexibly
interact and adapt over time and context to enable perception, cognition, and behavior …

Coordinated multi-level adaptations across neocortical areas during task learning

S Han, F Helmchen - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
The coordinated changes of neural activity during learning, from single neurons to
populations of neurons and their interactions across brain areas, remain poorly understood …
