ANNs can match neural activity.
But without biological constraints, they achieve it via the wrong mechanisms.
In our new V1 model, biologically constrained training achieves both.
Full story from our team leader, @AntonSArkhipov.

Excited to share our preprint led by @beaherrera with @AntonSArkhipov! Our mouse V1 model reproduces layered cortical rhythms without training on oscillations. A striking prediction: layer 4 drives 50–80 Hz gamma. Great to see the model help uncover circuit mechanisms.
📣 #NewPaper!

I am excited and honored that my group is a part of this new initiative. Simulating human brain circuits in health and disease is an ultimate frontier for modeling.
Today I am proud to announce the launch of the Brain Health Accelerator, a global initiative to transform our understanding of brain disease and accelerate the development of new treatments.
For more than 20 years, the @AllenInstitute has built foundational data, tools, technologies, and knowledge that have helped reshape neuroscience. Today, we are taking the next step: bringing together scientists, clinicians, technologists, AI experts, patient advocates, philanthropists, and industry partners around a shared mission to tackle some of the world’s most devastating brain diseases.
#BrainHealth will initially focus on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, ALS, and Lewy body disease, while building a radically open and collaborative framework designed to accelerate progress across many neurological disorders.
This effort launches with a total commitment of more than $400 million, including $200 million from the Allen Institute (supported by the Fund for Science and Technology), $100 million from the Bezos family, and an additional $100 million from @awscloud, @NIH-supported programs, and @Everything_ALS.
We believe the future of brain health will be built through unprecedented collaboration, cutting-edge biology, advanced AI, and open science.
Science unites us. Together, we can go farther and create a healthier world.
