How do we achieve few-shot generalization? New work led by @fabianrenz.bsky.social dives into the role of replay in learning and using structure to generalize reward. Dream team effort with Shany Grossman @nathanieldaw.bsky.social Peter Dayan & @doellerlab.bsky.social

Infinite hidden Markov models can dissect the complexities of learning - Nature Neuroscience Bruijns et al. present a modeling tool that enables the tracking of learning dynamics across subjects to reveal how behaviors emerge and adapt. Applying the tool to a decision-making task in mice unco...

New in Nature Neuroscience: We developed a flexible model that reveals how animals learn tasksβ€”uncovering stages, sudden insights, and gradual improvements unique to each animal.
Learning isn't monotonic, and our model captures that complexity πŸ­πŸ“Š

When does new learning interfere with existing knowledge in people and ANNs? Great to have this out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com

Work with @summerfieldlab.bsky.social, @tsonj.bsky.social, Lukas Braun and Jan Grohn

Happy to share that after successfully defending my PhD last April with the great @nicoschuck.bsky.social , I will start a Postdoc with @summerfieldlab.bsky.social on 1st of September. Grateful for the past, excited for the future!

Happy to join #CCN25 in sunny Amsterdam this year! Come say hi at our poster B67 and check out how irrelevant value information influence choice behaviour. Work w @nirmoneta.bsky.social & @nicoschuck.bsky.social.

Attending #CCN2025?
Come check out our poster tomorrow (Tuesday, A90) on how reward morphs neural representations of non-spatial cognitive maps in the hippocampus. Work w. @luiantaverra.bsky.social, Alex Nitsch, @thecharleywu.bsky.social, @doellerlab.bsky.social & @nicoschuck.bsky.social

Navigating uncertainty: reward location variability induces reorganization of hippocampal spatial representations Navigating uncertainty is crucial for survival, with the location and availability of reward varying in different and unsignalled ways. Hippocampal place cell populations over-represent salient locati...

Curious how place cells adapt to uncertainty in reward location? We found that predictable changes boost β€œreward place cells” & warp hippocampal maps. Check out our new preprint: with Feng Xuan, Jack Mellor, Peter Dayan and Dan Dombeck: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our review on representational spaces in OFC/vmPFC and deepRL is out in Trends in Neuroscience. Was great working with Shany Grossman and @nicoschuck.bsky.social on this!
