- Reposted by Claudia Clopath LabUpdate on this work! We've extended our transitive inference study to large language models 🧵
- Reposted by Claudia Clopath LabI’m excited to share my first PhD preprint!🎉 We studied how interactions between medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) and hippocampus shape theta sequences during navigation, and asked whether some “planning-like” patterns in hippocampus could arise from upstream MEC dynamics. (1/8)
- Check out our new work on motor learning across multiple brain regions!
- 🧠 New year, new preprint! Why does motor learning involve multiple brain regions? We propose that the cortico-cerebellar system learns a "map" of actions where similar movements are nearby, while basal ganglia do RL in this simplified space. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- We were asked to write a commentary on NeuroAI for Nat. Rev. Neuro. with Sadra Sadeh, so here it is: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Trying to train RNNs in a biol plausible (local) way? Well, try our new method using predictive alignment. Paper just out in Nat. Com. Toshitake Asabuki deserves all the credit! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Are predictions computed hierarchically, or can they be computed locally? Check out our paper! Congrats, Toshitake Asabuki and @colleenjg.bsky.social ! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
- Check out our new paper how to embed state transitions in recurrent networks. Well done Toshitake Asabuki! elifesciences.org/articles/95243
- Check out our new work on in context learning! With @jessegeerts.bsky.social @neurokim.bsky.social @scychan.bsky.social
- Reposted by Claudia Clopath LabWe're launching the data collection phase of the Community Predictive Processing project now that our plans have been published on arXiv 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2504.09614
- How should you combine sensory inputs with your internal predictions? Well, use uncertainty directly computed by your prediction-error circuits. Cool? Check out our Nat. Com. paper with Loreen Hertäg and @k47h4.bsky.social . www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- The Clopath Lab has a fully funded PhD position open for Oct in Computational Neuroscience at Imperial College London. If you are interested, just send us an informal e-mail!
- Check out our new method to optimize neural representations from behaviour!
- “SIMPL: Scalable and hassle-free optimisation of neural representations from behaviour” openreview.net/forum?id=9kF... From @tomnotgeorge.bsky.social Pierre Glaser, Kim Stachenfeld, @caswell.bsky.social @clopathlab.bsky.social
- Want to hear more about how feedback can guide learning in RNNs for motor adaptation. Here is our new paper in Nat. Com. with Barbara Feulner and @juangallego.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Check out our new paper with the Margrie lab in Cell on motor and vestibular signals in the visual cortex. Well done Mateo Velez-Fort!
- Check out the full paper in @cp-cell.bsky.social from Mateo Velez-Fort, Lee Cossell, Laura Porta, @clopathlab.bsky.social and Troy Margrie www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
- Want to hear more about hippocampus-to-cortex feedback circuit? Our paper with the Basu lab is out in Nat Neuro! rdcu.be/eak1k . Well done Tanvi Butola!
- Reposted by Claudia Clopath LabRead the full paper in @science.org from Sara Mederos, Patty Blakely, @nicolevissers1.bsky.social @clopathlab.bsky.social and @sonjahofer.bsky.social ⬇️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- See our new paper in Science with the Hofer lab. Well done Sara Mederos!
- So excited to see this out, heroic effort by the brilliant Sara Mederos, uncovering the detailed brain mechanisms of how animals learn to overcome their instinctive fear responses, from neural circuits & cell types down to synaptic plasticity mechanism! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Reposted by Claudia Clopath LabHappy to see three computational neuroscience awards among the ERC Consolidator grants announced today, and even more impressively 3/3 are women: @clopathlab.bsky.social, @gjorjulijana.bsky.social and Alex Cayco-Gajic All top researchers, delighted for them. Congrats erc.europa.eu/sites/defaul...
- Very grateful for ERC to fund my research for the next 5 years! erc.europa.eu/news-events/...
