Our new preprint: The primate hippocampus parses experience into event-aligned neural states, creating a temporal scaffold for organizing behavior.

At #SfN25 ? Come chat at my poster — Wednesday AM (PP14; 414.03).

Embodiment is the concept that the function of the brain is inexorably shaped by the body, a lens that is often neglected when neuroscientists study specific brain subsystems, write @bingbrunton.bsky.social and @tuthill.bsky.social.

Breaking the jar: Why NeuroAI needs embodiment
Brain function is inexorably shaped by the body. Embracing this will benefit computational models of real brain function and the design of ANNs.

(1/2) Breakthrough study just dropped by the Allen Institute for Brain Science (@alleninstitute.bsky.social). Major shoutout to our brilliant NBIO trainees Leila Elabaddy and Sven Dorkenwald whose exceptional contributions helped make this possible! 👏
How does the brain work?

Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵
