PhD student at Brain Circuits and Behavior Lab, IDIBAPS. Interested in working memory, decision-making and automated training systems.
I am very excited to share my first preprint🎉
The pandemic kicked off strongly during the first year of my PhD, and I had to stop the behavioral experiments when mice were starting to understand the task. At the BCB Lab, this showed us that training automation could be a real game changer (🧵1/10)

🚨Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social🚨 with the amazing Smith lab, @jbarbosa.org and Albert Compte who made this work possible.
We show that 🐒prefrontal hemispheres combine redundancy (for precision) & weak connections (for capacity) for supporting spatial working memory (WM). 1/🧵

Redundant, weakly connected prefrontal hemispheres balance precision and capacity in spatial working memory https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.15.633176v1

Since no one did it, here is a list of people doing research on working memory. The list is admittedly biased (based on the people I follow), so please help: don't hesitate to let me know of someone missing. I will happily follow and add them to the list!
