There are now hundreds of genes associated with autism & neurodevelopmental disorders but what key processes in brain development they each disrupt remains unknown. In an article in nature today, we start tackling this question by combining forebrain #assembloids with CRISPR screens to map >400 disease genes onto stages of human cortical interneuron development. Using engineered lines, regionalized neural #organoids and over 1,000 #assembloids, we discovered a group of disease genes that interfere with GABAergic neuron generation or migration, including some surprising disease mechanisms. Check out the video below for details. This work was led by the fearless Xiangling Meng in the lab!! In collaboration with Bassik lab & Georgia Panagiotakos lab!

Our latest work is out today in Science Magazine: a self-organizing system that models organizer-driven patterning and commissural axon guidance in human neural development. This was achieved with human midline #assembloids by combining floor plate and spinal cord #organoids from pluripotent stem cells. A key advance is the three-part configuration (a floor plate squeezed in between two spinal cords), which enables human axons to cross the midline (and the subsequent synchronization of activity between the two parts seen in the video below). This platform opens the door to many applications; here, we used it to screen and identify human-enriched midline crossing regulators. Work led by Massimo Onesto with Neal Amin

The full video from Cortical Labs explaining how they put 200,000 brain cells onto a silicon chip and had it play Doom is wild: “When a demon appears on the left of the screen, specific electrodes stimulate the sensory area of the neural culture on the left side. The neurons react to that stimulation. We then listen to their response, the spikes, and interpret that activity as motor commands. If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots.”

New Paper: Continuous Thought Machines 🧠 Neurons in brains use timing and synchronization in the way that they compute, but this is largely ignored in modern neural nets. We believe neural timing is key for the flexibility and adaptability of biological intelligence. We propose a new neural architecture, “Continuous Thought Machines” (CTMs), which is built from the ground up to use neural dynamics as a core representation for intelligence. By using neural dynamics as a first-class representational citizen, CTMs naturally perform adaptive computation. Many emergent, interesting behaviors arise as a result: CTMs solve mazes by observing a raw maze image and producing step-by-step instructions directly from its neural dynamics. When tasked with image recognition, the CTM naturally takes multiple steps to examine different parts of the image before making its decision. This step-by-step approach not only makes its behavior more interpretable but also improves accuracy: the longer it “thinks,” the more accurate its answers become. We also found that this allows the CTM to decide to spend less time thinking on simpler images, thus saving energy. When identifying a gorilla, for example, the CTM’s attention moves from eyes to nose to mouth in a pattern remarkably similar to human visual attention. I think this work underscores an important, yet often lost, synergy between neuroscience and AI. While modern AI is ostensibly brain-inspired, the two fields often operate in surprising isolation. By starting with such inspiration and iteratively following the emergent, interesting behaviors, we developed a model with unexpected capabilities, such as its surprisingly strong calibration in classification tasks, a feature that was not explicitly designed for. When we initially asked, “why do this research?”, we hoped the journey of the CTM would provide compelling answers. By embracing light biological inspiration and pursuing the novel behaviors observed, we have arrived at a model with emergent capabilities that exceeded our initial designs. We are committed to continuing this exploration, borrowing further concepts to discover what new and exciting behaviors will emerge, pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve.

In the era of 10T-parameter foundation models 😈, can we still build next-generation world representations using 🦥 a single RTX 3090 GPU? We introduce WorldString (a name inspired by string theory), a tiny neural network representation for reconstructing dynamic world instances, ranging from articulated motion and skeletal skinning to soft-body deformation. 🔥 We view object representation as the core primitive of world modeling: the basic executable unit from which perception, interaction, simulation, and generation can be built. With a compact neural basis, WorldString aims to connect dynamic object modeling with neural simulation and foundation models, enabling a scalable path toward richer representations of the physical world.

Agree, this is an important point from Michael Baym. A Waymo is an autonomous car even if a human is in the back seat telling it where to go. Same for an Autonomous Lab, scientists can tell it what protocols to do -- quick autonomous lab explainer in this video. It's really about solving for variable lab work, not about taking the scientist out of the loop.

Check out the Neural Graph Mapping for Dense SLAM with Efficient Loop Closure paper by Leonard Bruns, Jun Zhang, and Patric Jensfelt, visualized with Rerun. “Existing neural field-based SLAM methods typically employ a single monolithic field as their scene representation. This prevents efficient incorporation of loop closure constraints and limits scalability. To address these shortcomings, we propose a neural mapping framework which anchors lightweight neural fields to the pose graph of a sparse visual SLAM system.”

This is what our Osaka University team is developing in our Moonshot Internet of Brains Project. Unlike Synchron’s Stentrode, this technology can access thinner and more fragile cortical veins. By navigating into smaller vessels, it can record neural activity from a wider range of brain regions. So far, successful in pigs, and we aim to bring it to humans in the coming years.

Andy Moore at HHMI | Janelia created this time-lapse video that shows the dynamic structure of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) within a kidney cell. As you can see, the ER is very densely packed near the nucleus, which is shown in bright orange color at the center of the cell and is less dense towards the edges of the cell. Videos like these can give us a more complete understanding of the structure and function of the ER and this knowledge could be the basis for future research on how protein and lipid production within the cell affect human health and disease.

ANOTHER PANDEMIC? Investigators found thousands of vials of blood, tissue, and genetically engineered mice designed to carry COVID, HIV, Hepatitis, and Malaria. The lab was being run by a Chinese national receiving funding from the CCP. He was only hiring other Chinese nationals to work in the lab and steal American intellectual property. We need to stop letting in Chinese nationals!
