A unified model of memory and perception: How Hebbian learning explains our recall of past events

A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, shows that distinct perceptual biases—long thought to arise from separate brain systems—can, in fact, be explained by a single, biologically grounded mechanism.

Dear Friends of SLM (Small Language Models),

As some of you may know:

- Books don't think, however thick. (Same for #Databases as large as the Internet)
- By rearranging processing a lobster can requantamise its #Behaviour based on #Environmental factors.
- Lobsters only have 100 000 #neurons

So let us reconfigure:
- If an AI follows the agenda of a moron tech class to increase profit. Promote some petty #Agenda. It lessens the learning for [insert hallucinating GIGO of choice]
- The world of humans, create, predict and play or multitask. They are priceless not commodities.

- Now a short message from the past (includes song)

The #neurons that let us see what isn’t there
A standard #opticalillusion triggers specific neurons in the #visual system of mice.
“Illusions are fun, but they are also a gateway to perception,” says Hyeyoung Shin, assistant professor of neuroscience at Seoul National Universitym first author of a new study in Nature Neuroscience that identified a specific population of neurons in #visualcortex—dubbed IC-encoders—and shows a direct role in representing a visual illusion.

Decoded circuits reveal how brain cell networks stabilize memory formation

Newly decoded brain circuits make memories more stable as part of learning, according to a study led by NYU Langone Health researchers.

When thinking, the human brain performs a true masterpiece of information processing: around 100 billion #neurons communicate with each other via approximately 100 trillion connections. An international #research team, including scientists at #MPZPM, discovered that the mechanical properties of the developing brain influence both synapse formation and the emergence of electrical signals.
