Despite some ups and downs at NIH, we do have an open position for a postbac and are considering candidates.
Our work is at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and we aim to understand how the brain's densely connected recurrent networks operate. πŸ§ͺ

We believe that these findings advance a new framework to explain how the hippocampus achieves rapid generalization while also preserving the specificity of individual experiences. Check out the preprint for many more details:

We show that place cell representational drift and remapping are not random at the population level and supported by dedicated circuit mechanisms. This enabled the generalization of task variables (task structure, choice, time) across environments.

We found that the hippocampus supports rapid generalization in mice by generating disentangled memory representations, where different aspects of experience are encoded independently. These low-dimensional population dynamics evolved with learning.

Intelligent behavior involves generalizing from experience and applying prior knowledge to new situations. Traditional models attribute this to gradual learning in the cortex. However, such a slow process can't account for animals’ rapid generalization from limited experience

Excited to share our latest story! We found disentangled memory representations in the hippocampus that generalized across time and environments, despite the seemingly random drift and remapping of single cells. This code enabled the transfer of prior knowledge to solve new tasks
