Ever wondered what different layer-5 PC types do for learning?
Our work suggests that one (IT PCs) does representational learning whereas the other (ET PCs) encodes representational value!
A great exp-theory collaboration with the Larkum and Takahashi's labs!

Targeted stimulation of motor cortex neural ensembles drives learned movements
During the execution of learned motor skills, the neural population in the layer 2/3 (L2/3) of the primary motor cortex (M1) expresses a reproducible spatiotemporal activity pattern. It is debated whe...

Is neuroscience research really working to understand the human brain? Or do we get lost in mouse cognition? I’ve asked myself this a lot since starting to work with human tissue. Our first Jonas Lab foray into untangling human hippocampal circuits is now online! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 1/a few
Human hippocampal CA3 uses specific functional connectivity rules for efficient associative memory
Human hippocampal CA3 networks use sparse and broad synaptic connectivity, and their recurrent synapses employ reliability, precision, and long integration times to enhance memory capacity. Thus, the human hippocampus is distinct from both rodent counterparts and human neocortical circuits.

The terms "learning" and "adaptation" are often used nearly interchangeably, though different fields use them differently
In artificial systems we distinguish btw "training" and "inference" but animals undergoing continual learning blurs that
Is there a principled distinction we can make?

I have done this frequently and agree it is very valuable. Removing the presumed quality imprint of the journal name opens up the discussion dramatically in my experience.
10/ Why should you bring #preprints into your journal club?
Here’s what #ECRs stand to gain by looking beyond published papers.

Point of View: Journal clubs in the time of preprints
Early-career researchers can learn about peer review by discussing preprints at journal clubs and sending feedback to the authors.
