At , Jonathan Cornford presented a super cool new :

Synaptic Weight Distributions Depend on the Geometry of Plasticity
https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.19394

Jointly lead with Roman Pogodin, they develop a theory of how a cost function attached to weight changes during learning creates weight distributions observed in biology. Work done in @tyrell_turing group!

@tyrell_turing @Neurograce @achterbrain @neuroscience @CogCompNeuro this is where Jonny pipes in to say that voltage change at the soma doesn’t capture the full effect of a presynaptic spike on the dendritic tree, and also something about short term plasticity, and lab meeting devolves into chaos
