Reminder that even mice are not simple stimulus-response black boxes and will find a way to "cheat" your task 🐁

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.

In many brain areas, neuronal tuning is heterogeneous. But how does this diversity help behavior? We show how tuning diversity shapes representational geometry and boosts coding efficiency for perception in our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Variations in neuronal selectivity create efficient representational geometries for perception
Our visual capabilities depend on neural response properties in visual areas of our brains. Neurons exhibit a wide variety of selective response properties, but the reasons for this diversity are unkn...

Several new lines of evidence are beginning to reconcile long-standing debates about hippocampal function, prompting neuroscientists to rethink how the region carries out its diverse tasks.

Expanded view of hippocampal function comes into focus
After decades of debate, the region’s role is being rewritten. Rather than using sensory input to simply log key points in time and space, the hippocampus may serve to contextualize our experiences…

Met some really wonderful people doing really incredible science at this meeting. It was a pleasure to attend and share my PhD work with everyone. Thank you CIAN for organizing!
CIAN hosted the 2025 CAN-ACN Satellite Symposium at York University.
The event brought together over 100 participants. Three prizes were awarded, one for best oral presentation and two for best poster presentation.
Thank you all for participating.
