This week: Thalamocortical precision and learning

@takakikomiyama.bsky.social and team reveal how motor learning causes thalamic inputs to M1 to selectively activate neurons involved in learned movements

How does the brain train its own inputs? ⬇️

🚀🧠 Introducing #NeuroThursday!

Every week, we’ll share an interesting paper on neural loops and the circuits that shape perception, cognition, and more. From bioacoustics to brain organoids, if it loops, we’re talking about it!

Stay tuned! 🧠🔄⚡
