Just read a fantastic paper showing how dendritic morphology defines local computational subunitsโ€”letting neurons process synaptic input locally before it ever reaches the soma.
Dendrites are the brain of the neuron. ๐Ÿง โœจ

Compartmentalized dendritic plasticity in the mouse retrosplenial cortex links contextual memories formed close in time - Nature Neuroscience Sehgal et al. show that branch-specific dendritic plasticity mechanisms in the retrosplenial cortex link memories acquired close in time such that, unlike independent memories, linked memories are encoded by many of the same dendritic branches.

Dendritic plasticity in the retrosplenial cortex plays a key role in linking contextual memories formed close in time. This study reveals how overlapping neuronal ensembles & branch-specific plasticity integrate memories. doi.org/10.1038/s415... #Neuroscience #Memory #Dendrites

How to migrate from X to Bluesky without losing your followers This extension lets you easily migrate your follows and block list from X (formerly Twitter) to Bluesky, but you need to act fast because its functionality may be short-lived. Here's why.

How to migrate from #X to #Bluesky without losing your followers. All it takes is 5 minutes. Very easy and fast. Here is the article that describes in detail how to do it.

@marius10p.bsky.social lab.

โ€˜Use the force,โ€™ Mickey: Study suggests that โ€˜Jediโ€™ rodents remotely move matter using sound to enhance their sense of smell It’s so far off the scale of what we know … it almost seems like magic,’ says University at Buffalo researcher Eduardo Mercado III.

Mice can enhance their sense of smell by using ultrasound to move the particles in the surrounding environment!
