Thank you so much @harvardbrainsci.bsky.social!
Thank you so much @harvardbrainsci.bsky.social!
(edited repost) Thrilled to see our computational work on adaptive shaping of behavior (we call it outcome-based curriculum learning) in PLoS Comp Biol! @wl-tong.bsky.social, @gautamreddy.bsky.social & I formalize curricula in any RL task that can be framed as sequential simple-to-complex behavior.

How do #dopamine neurons perform the key calculations in reinforcement #learning?
Read on to find out more! π§΅
In our new paper @dulaclab.bsky.social, we investigated a fundamental question in social neuroscience: the origin of "sociality" (the need of being together) at the levels of behavior, neuron type, neural circuit and sensory modulation. (Detailed digest below) (1/7)

Huge thanks to @neurovenki.bsky.social and all my co-authors for their hard work, support, and insightful discussions on this! Thereβs still so much to learn about how animals use these stimuli in nature (and in our task), and Iβm excited to see where this research takes us next.
Happy to share our latest preprint! Very thankful of this project that have allowed me to (1) learn a lot, (2) work with very talented and rigorous people, and (3) capitalize 1 and 2 for delving into how mice olfactory system deals with very brief, intermittent odor stimuli.
Seeing many new #olfaction researches on Bluesky, nice! I made a starter pack for researchers and groups studying the sense of smell or taste. If you want to get added let me know.

Question for non-native English speakers in Academia: At what time of your career do you finally learn to use in/on/at prepositions in your writing/slides? Tell me there's hope...
Every time people told me, "You will regret the things you didn't do," I never thought linear algebra would be in that list, but it is.
Not that science related but science in the end: is our sense of taste changing with age or is it that current candy products taste worse than candy from decades ago?
