Beyond grateful to share two co-first author papers that came out in @Nature!! With @AmitVinograd, we provide causal evidence for a line attractor in the mammalian brain! And with @MengyuLiu96, we show that line attractors might be a common mechanism for emotions beyond anger!
1\ 🧠How do dynamic processes shape behavior in a changing world? Join our #cosyne2025 workshop, The Dynamic Brain: Modeling Time-Varying Computations Underlying Natural and Innate Behaviors! Co-organized with @neuronair @BaselessPursuit @scott_linderman and David Anderson
So we can trace an intellectual thread from John's work to the line attractor concept that has become popular in systems neuroscience for interpreting low-dimensional structure in large-scale recordings of neural activity. x.com/AmitVinograd/s…
(1/n) Thrilled to announce our (me + @neuronair ) Nature paper is out! We uncovered causal evidence of a line attractor in the brain—a neural mechanism encoding emotional states like aggression. Machine learning (AI) helped us map it! 🚀🧠 #Neuroscience #AI @NeuroscienceNews

Thrilled to share our latest in @CellCellPress led by @GeorgeMountou! We use his cool new CRISPR tools to reveal that the aggression encoding VMHvl line attractor uses neuropeptides! Part of our awesome collab with @scott_linderman and @AmitVinograd! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Come on down to hear about dynamical systems x social behavior 🔥🔥 at 5:15 if you're @CosyneMeeting workshop organized by @KrisTorpJensen, @marineschimel and @davindi09!! Thrilled to talk alongside @chethan, @scott_linderman, @anqiwu_angela, @theiStone and M Dowling & C Savin!!
What I cannot create I do not understand: analyzing neural and behavioral data with generative models! Thrilled to run this @CosyneMeeting workshop with @marineschimel & @davindi09! Find us in Mont-Tremblant on the 14th and on sites.google.com/cam.ac.uk/cosy…
Can't believe it's finally out! Check out @Antihebbiann's thread for a detailed breakdown of our paper! It's improved so much while in review!!
Live at @CellCellPress: our paper w/David Anderson finding a leaky line attractor in hypothalamus encoding aggressive motivation! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00… Analysis by @neuronair, data by @TomomiKarigo & Bin Yang, further guidance @scott_linderman, @SuryaGanguli & Mark Schnitzer.
So excited to share my 1st first author paper with David Anderson & @Antihebbiann, with help from @TomomiKarigo, @scott_linderman, @SuryaGanguli & Mark Schnitzer in @CellCellPress!! We found an approx. line attractor that correlates with aggressiveness! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
My somewhat cynical take on bullies in academia is that they’re a feature, not a bug. I touched on this with an earlier tweet, but the qualities we commonly associate with “top scientist” in academia are extremely present in the kinds of people who bully others.
Had a fabulous time organizing Chen DataSAI and teaching alongside @Antihebbiann Xuan @lpachter Tara @chethan @chris_versteeg @evadyer @mehdiazabou @JonathanCKao Brandon & @neuronair It wouldn’t have been possible without them 🥰 Stay tuned for next year 😃🧠🤓
That’s a wrap: group shot from the final day of the inaugural Data Science and AI for Neuroscience summer school, hosted by the Chen Institute for Neuroscience @Caltech Thanks to @SaberaTalukder @neuronair @lpachter @PietroPerona @yisongyue @ChenInstitute and David Anderson

For the last day (😭) of @CaltechN DataSAI Summer School we have the superb @JonathanCKao & Brandon walking through RNNs & dynamical systems! Featuring the not planned last day uniform @GeelingC Yue & @JieyuZheng3 🤓🧠 Thanks @lpachter @yisongyue @neuronair ++ for a great time!
