I've been experimenting with attention mechanisms to design locomotion controllers that adapt to different shapes, this is the same controller running on two different bodies github.com/juniorrojas/mo… paper coming soon 👀

Aging has a major impact on protein ubiquitylation. This is mediated in part through reduced proteasome activity and can be modulated by diet.

How does the brain stop a thought in its tracks? Ever get stuck on a thought you just can't shake? Whether it's an unwanted memory, an intrusive worry or a pathological mental loop, a new paper in Nature Reviews Neuroscience by Michael Anderson and colleagues shines light on how

Yale Philosophy offers a course on “Formal Philosophical Methods” — a broad introduction to probability, logic, formal semantics, etc. Instructor Calum McNamara has now made all materials for the course (78 pages) freely available static1.squarespace.com/static/6255ffe…

🚨New paper on theories of ageing I discuss the major mechanistic theories of ageing in light of recent findings as well as the fundamental nature of the ageing process. Theoretical work is more important than ever in biology, including in ageing. nature.com/articles/s4155…

👀A first-of-its-kind study in mice reveals that neurons add and shed synapses at a frenzied pace during development to integrate visual signals from the two eyes. picower.mit.edu/news/connect-o… #neuroscience #vision #research MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences MIT Science

A comparison of mouse vs human tumor microenvironments shows a major difference. Mouse TMEs have more macrophages, while human TMEs have more T cells. Chemokine expression patterns are also different. Learn more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Every investor is asking: "How is this defensible?" Vedika Jain created a rubric to stress test a startups AGI-proof moat.

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in Nature Medicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the Tony Wyss-Coray lab. 🧵1/12 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4159…

We have developed DELIVR, a user-friendly deep-learning pipeline for automatically detecting and analyzing cells from whole-brain images to map neuronal activity via cFOS. DELIVR uses virtual reality to substantially accelerate the generation of training data and is accessible to

👉 New preprint! Today, many the biggest challenges in LM post-training aren't just about correctness, but rather consistency & coherence across interactions. This paper tackles some of these issues by optimizing reasoning LMs for calibration rather than accuracy...

Can synapses in the brain switch their signs between excitatory and inhibitory during learning🚦? Can they act more like weights in artificial neural networks, able to switch signs based on experience 🔃? Excited to share my thesis work in Bernardo Sabatini lab! 🧵 ⬇️ (1/13)

⚡️Thrilled that #VirtualLab is published in nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… We created a team of AI agents to mirror my Stanford lab🤖. Led by a PI agent, the AI scientists ran their own group meetings and discovered effective binders to new CoVID variants that we validated.

Our new pre-print is out in bioRxiv, with Gonçalo Lopes, Jai Bhagat, Anaya Pouget, Lorenza Calcaterra, Dr. Chang Huan Lo, Zimo Li, Joaquin Rapela, Svenja Nierwetberg, Orsolya Fölsz, Jasmine Reggiani, Steve Lenzi NeuroGEARS,DataJoint and many others: aeon.swc.ucl.ac.uk/about/people.h…
