Last week,
@danielsexton16.bsky.social
(7th year Neurosurgery Resident at Duke University) presented Linnea Evanson and colleagues' new paper on comparing the development of language from childhood to adulthood and how it relates to LLMs. This 🧵 explores our thoughts (🤍 & ❔)

Academia is often a long dry road, but every now and then you get the most amazing comment 🤗
🤍1️⃣: They collected one of the most fascinating datasets we have ever seen. The number of patients in the dataset across all ranges of neurodevelopment is truly a feat to behold.

New preprint, w/ @predictivebrain.bsky.social !

we've found that visual cortex, even when just viewing natural scenes, predicts *higher-level* visual features

The aligns with developments in ML, but challenges some assumptions about early sensory cortex

Higher-level spatial prediction in natural vision across mouse visual cortex
Theories of predictive processing propose that sensory systems constantly predict incoming signals, based on spatial and temporal context. However, evidence for prediction in sensory cortex largely co...
