There are examples of different IPSP dependently on the location of the afferent on the postsynaptic neuron. That would do?

I don't understand, whats the problem if people use chatgpt to write part of their text?

Like, the write the prompt with the info in bullet points, and ask for a text. Is this any type of scientific fraud?

What a time when you could title your paper like this!

Hey! Great school!

Are teaching assistants applications still open?

Nonlinear Dendritic Integration Supports Up–Down States in Single Neurons Changes in the activity profile of cortical neurons are due to effects at the scale of local and long-range networks. Accordingly, abrupt transitions in the state of cortical neurons—a phenomenon know...

If Purple isn’t real, then what is? Let’s talk epistemology. Actually, let’s have magenta and cyan bid farewell to epistemology altogether

The neuroscience tale of how purple, really magenta, is a synthetic color not found on the spectrum. We don't perceive the environment, but become aware of the brain's processing of color. I conclude, Kant was right, there is a priori knowledge. But he never realized it was neuronal.

Changing Climate, Changing Brains How does climate change impact the brain? Spoiler alert: it’s not good

How does climate change impact the brain? Spoiler alert: it’s not looking good.. Check out this week's piece where

Dopaminergic action prediction errors serve as a value-free teaching signal - Nature Dopaminergic action prediction error signals are used by mice as a value-free teaching signal to reinforce stable sound–action associations in the tail of the striatum.

I understand, but don't these apply to attractors theory too? I mean, I dunno much about PVT, just saying attractor states are a powerful abstraction and can account for permanent states on top of a biological, changing substrate

what about attractor states?? Even if not still, they are permanent, self sustained states. They can also exist on longer timescales of working memory. Any memory is an example that such states exist...

Hey! Where's the position? Full remote?

So a foundation model of the brain is a LxM trained on what?
Behaviour to brain activity?

To be precise, I took this definition from the article featuring the podcast, not from its transcript.

what is a "foundation" model? The podcast says: models which replicate the fundamental algorithms of brain activity, but can be studied with complete control and replicated across hundreds of laboratories.. but that's not what is on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundat...

Dunno much about consciousness. But perhaps having the general public thinking that animals are consciousness will help reduce the atrocities we do to them... science is also about policies, and this seemed a good call to me

These 4 tips can make screen time good for your kids and even help them learn to talk In moderation, watching educational TV shows, movies and apps can boost language development among young children. 2 experts explain.

More screen time is associated with less parent-child talk, slowing language development.

Two child development experts explain what you can do to support learning, including watching with your child, and asking questions and modeling new words during shows.

We are super happy to announce the third Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! We will once again look critically at assumptions of modern neuroscience: what does it mean that the brain encodes information? Is this a useful approach, or a metaphor that blurs our vision?

Super cool paper on a canonical circuit motif, replicating typical neuronal dynamics like attractors, winner-take-all behavior etc. in neurmorphic hardware!

This is figure 3, which shows the estimated losses from individual extreme heat events by carbon majors.

A Perspective in Nature presents a transparent and reproducible scientific framework to formalize how trillions in economic losses are attributable to the extreme heat caused by emissions from fossil fuel companies, which could inform climate liability claims. go.nature.com/4jOubX8 🧪

Very nice centrist view.
Tho. Vaccines are ineffective when not enough people are vaccinated, DEI is ineffective if the HR can opt out. So, as often happens... CENTRE=RIGHT

Mmmm...

Couldn't they make more grants? What's the logic? If you are from the US you are used to big money?
