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

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Thanks to the yield of U arrays, we were able for the 1st time AFAIK to average across neurons (not trials) and see memory bumps on single trials. Look at this 😍
Not the focus of the work but it taps into an open debate on the neural mech. of WM cf @cconstan.bsky.social @earlkmiller.bsky.social

Lead by the amazing @mtschiersch.bsky.social 👸, we investigate how both 🐒PFC interact during working memory. Her work sheds light into WM mechanisms by reconciling previous contradictions.
Tune in for 🐒WM, serial dependence and attractor models

German's living abroad, we've got until the 2nd of February to register for the elections but it might still be tight that our votes count in the end. Anyways... better safe than sorry, so register at your last Meldestelle:)

About 5 weeks between now and German parliamentary elections. And I'm seeing the exact same dynamics here that recently murdered what was left of US democracy.
