What are the design principles of neural connectomes?

We show that a small # of biophysical features shape the structure and function of connecotmes in zebrafish, mice, & c. elegans.

Efficient Collective Learning by Ensembles of Altruistic Diversifying Neural Networks

arxiv.org/abs/2006.11671 Inspired by models of collective behavior in animals and artificial agents (pnas.org/content/114/22…), we studied co-learning by ensembles of interacting neural networks that aim to maximize their own performance but also their functional relations to other networks
