I just presented for the first time at @sfn.org and loved it—I had lots of engaging discussions and I’m feeling inspired seeing so many cool research projects!🔬 🧠

Here’s my poster: My project compares afferent and efferent hippocampal connectivity profiles within the rat structural connectome

A growing body of work illustrates how peripheral molecules can influence brain function, offering new therapeutic targets, writes @georgiahodes.bsky.social

I promised to write about my thoughts on the status of the field of neuroAI, some of the big challenges we are facing, and the approaches we are taking to address them. This is super selective on the topic of finding a good model but in my view it affects the field as a whole. Here we go. 🧵

The hippocampus is functionally diverse: its anterior & posterior portions have different roles in emotion, navigation, gist vs. detail memory, and more.

(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/978026204941...
