Let’s bring back into the limelight Jurgen Schmidhuber’s ~2009 take on compression as the root of a lot that goes on in learning and its impact/causality on beauty, novelty, boringness/interestingness, and action selection.

“Driven by compression progress: A simple principle explains essential aspects of subjective beauty, novelty, surprise, interestingness, attention, curiosity, creativity, art, science, music, jokes” by Schmidhuber 2008. arxiv.org/pdf/0812.4360

Quite the proposal that upturns a long unquestioned mechanism of associative memory: “cAMP level is an unlikely candidate for serving as a memory engram. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate that cAMP has an adverse impact on the release of acetylcholine from KCs. Accordingly, we postulate that, during conditioning, cAMP depresses KCs, thereby skewing the valence of the CS+ odor towards a more aversive state for the conditioned flies, ultimately culminating in the formation of aversive memories.”

"Flexible specificity of memory in Drosophila depends on a comparison between choices", by Modi et al. 2023 (Glenn Turner's lab) elifesciences.org/articles/809

"A memory too specific will be useless in even a slightly different environment, while an overly general memory may lead to suboptimal choices."

"Rather than forming memories that strike a balance between specificity and generality, Drosophila can flexibly categorize a given stimulus into different groups depending on the options available."

Wow Scott—the abstract alone is like a mini neuroscience conference on learning and memory. Looking forward to reading it slowly.

Meanwhile: could you tell us about the voltage imaging? Any caveats?

Hi everyone!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology at (). I study and in mice and humans. My research uses of abuse (i.e. and ) and radiation to probe how peripheral responses impact . I and () how to think about and challenge them to question HOW they know content. Here are some other topics/tags that I am fond of:
