At #SfN, toroidal manifolds are all the rage! Haim Sopolinsky & showed how neural activity can be described by these attractor-like dynamics; showed that anticorrelated cells drive context discrimination in these manifolds. Plus, they’re beautiful!

Good morning from #SfN22. Optogenetics is powerful but we don’t always know the real effects on neurons. Claudia Joy in lab recorded during stimulation, showing that neurons are variably activated - and develop anticorrelated activity - supporting task representations.
