This is what me of my favourite things ever. From the awesome @KrisTorpJensen :)
I’m super excited to finally put my recent work with @behrenstimb on bioRxiv, where we develop a new mechanistic theory of how PFC structures adaptive behaviour using attractor dynamics in space and time! https://t.co/umhunhmUk0 1/8

The unparalleled XJ Wang has written a book about the computations underlying cognition. I read a draft version and it is awesome. He is not on social media, so I am sharing it on his behalf :)

Check out replay making new place cells (likely from compositional elements!).
Happy to share the latest version of our work on compositional cognitive maps in hippocampus, with Jo Warren, @jrcwhittington, @behrenstimb. We propose hippocampus constructs maps from cortical building blocks in replay – now with empirical support! https://t.co/pOgnMWeIHY 1/9
