The paper introduces a graph embedding algorithm to identify symmetries in neural connectomes, demonstrating its ability to detect rotational, translational, and toroidal symmetries in Drosophila and synthetic grid cell connectomes.

This paper develops a statistical mechanics theory of perceptual learning, showing that minimum perturbation plasticity explains synaptic changes and neural representations in deep hierarchical networks.

This study shows that rats can help others in distress without affective cues, suggesting a form of cognitive empathy driven by cognitive dissonance.

This study shows that anxiolytic treatment reduces helping behavior in rats, suggesting affective responses are crucial for pro-social actions.
