Neuronal spiking in the mammalian forebrain is dominated by a heterogeneous ground state Neuronal firing patterns have significant spatiotemporal variability with no agreed-upon theoretical framework. Using a combined experimental and mode…

With this one in print, I think I finally earned that PhD... 😅
Presented for the first time at the cosyne when the world ended (March 2020). I'll bring over a summary thread from twitter when it was still twitter...

I am excited to share some new results investigating how subcortical signals are channeled via VM to engage specific inhibitory networks in L1 of mPFC. Check out our preprint linked below if you’re interested in reading more! 🥳

Congrats Roxana!!

A Neural Circuit Framework for Economic Choice: From Building Blocks of Valuation to Compositionality in Multitasking Value-guided decisions are at the core of reinforcement learning and neuroeconomics, yet the basic computations they require remain poorly understood at the mechanistic level. For instance, how does t...

Excited to share our latest preprint with @camillopadoasch.bsky.social and Xiao-Jing Wang! We present a biologically plausible framework showing how neural circuits compute & compare value to drive flexible economic decision making.

2025: Agency gained and lost If you’ve had even a passing glance at tech journalism over the past few months, you know the top buzzword for AI in 2025 is agentic. Agentic AI (according to many think pieces and press releases a…

I wrote about the concept of agency (both human and artificial) in the year 2025. gracewlindsay.com/2025/01/24/2...

Hippocampal neuronal activity is aligned with action plans - Nature Using high-density electrophysiological recordings, how internally generated cell assemblies are updated by action plans to meet external goals is explored.

It’s an incredible feeling to see something you’ve poured your heart into come to life. This work was born from my curiosity about hippocampal “cognitive tuning.”
Our interpretation of the environment depends on our actions, constantly evolving as we pursue our goals
