Not ready for this

Interesting quote. Noble refers to genes of course. Specifically to the selfish gene idea proposed by ⁦Richard Dawkins⁩. So, we may need multilevel approaches. Integration on top of reductionism.

🎉Exciting news! Our lab's first paper, "Vocal labeling of others by nonhuman primates," is now published in @Science! 🐒 Dive into our findings on how marmoset monkeys use vocal labels similar to human names and dialects. Check it out! 1/6 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Not planning to

This city is pretty cool…

Teaching neural basis of pain today Schulich WesternU dentistry. The thermal grill illusion is one of the most interesting things out there. Creating burning pain from the interaction of none-painful cold and warm stimuli. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_g…

Not all neurons and brain areas were 'created' equal. Calbindin expressing pyramidal neurons in the primate prefrontal cortex make us mental creatures but also vulnerable to mental disease. Uber interesting 👇 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

of course Ed is right

Yes, each single neuron is a computing device, it not only about synapses and networks, but also intrinsic properties. See our preprint. Great team work mixing intra/extracellular ephys, biophysical modelling and common interest to advance the field. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Each cortical area in the mammalian brain is composed of canonical, repeatable circuit elements. Distinct connectivity patterns underlie differences in response patterns/function between areas observed during behaviour. i.e., the variability is all in the connectome.

You do patch seq/transcriptomics in two pyramidal cells with an obvious different morphology and different input resistance/rheobase/adaptation. The transcriptomics profiles are indistinguishable.

New collab paper led by rising star Jingwen Li w/Mikio Aoi in Neuron. We find that neurons in functional clusters for natural behavior-related processes are distributed in marmoset PFC and PMC in contrast to conventional models #naturalbrains authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S08…

Does the PFC represent the visual world, our inner mental world, or both? Probably both….👇
