CogFunSearch: Symbolic Cognitive Models with LLMs

A look at CogFunSearch, a new method using LLMs to automatically discover symbolic cognitive models from human and animal behavior.

Compositional Hippocampus Constructs Future Behavior
Monthly Meeting

Compositional Hippocampus Constructs Future Behavior

Hippocampal memory is compositional, and performs consolidation primarily through replay, allowing for zero-shot generalization and the construction of future behavior

Hippocampus as a Generative Circuit for Predictive Coding
Monthly Meeting

Hippocampus as a Generative Circuit for Predictive Coding

This review explores how theta oscillations guide the spontaneous emergence of ring attractors in the hippocampus.

Geometry of Abstraction in the Brain
Monthly Meeting

Geometry of Abstraction in the Brain

Understand how the dimensionality of abstract representation in the brain supports generalization

Integration and Competition Between Space and Time in the Hippocampus
Monthly Meeting

Integration and Competition Between Space and Time in the Hippocampus

Uncovering the trade-off between space and time in the hippocampus: how single neurons competitively balance these dimensions.

Memory in Context (Kickoff Session)
Monthly Meeting

Memory in Context (Kickoff Session)

The topic of this year's NABI symposium, we explore how hippocampal circuits reveal the principles behind flexible, context-dependent memory.

Explaining Modular Representations with Range
Monthly Meeting

Explaining Modular Representations with Range

An ICLR 2025 paper proposing that range, not just statistical independence, is the key factor that determines whether neural representations are modular or mixed.

Interneuron cooperation

August 2025

A tour through the brain’s code: interneuron teamwork, speed-boosted navigation, dopamine-shaped learning, compositional maps, and value-sensitive choices

A Neural Coding Model for Olfaction

Poisson compressed sensing for rapid inference of olfactory information (NeurIPS, 2023)

Shared sensitivity to data distribution during learning in humans and transformer networks

December 2025

New frameworks for biologically constrained learning: from similarities in humans and transformers and sparse, contrained RNNs to a unified theory of hippocampal replay

Learning Produces an Orthogonalized State Machine in the Hippocampus

Learning Produces an Orthogonalized State Machine in the Hippocampus

The hippocampus learns by forming an "orthogonalized state machine," enabling contextual separation and flexible learning.
