Here we outline an approach that we think will enable dynamic observation and control of entire brains, as well as the ability to map at the level of molecules, wires and neurons, and we describe how such datasets could yield bottom-up models. To make the argument concrete, and to provide a practical test bed for a first actual attempt, we …

Computational neuroscientist and singer/songwriter Kimaya (Kimy) Lecamwasam, who also plays electric bass and guitar, says music has been a core part of her life for as long as she can remember. She grew up in a musical family and played in bands all through high school. “For most of my life, writing and playing music was the clearest way I …

This happens in your brain when you change your mind, according to neuroscience  PsyPost Source link

Kevin Mitchell, Trinity College Dublin The traditional view of causation in neuroscience involves a “driving” metaphor, in which activation of one set of neurons drives downstream neurons, which drive further-downstream neurons, which eventually drive behavior. This view is inherited from seminal studies on sensorimotor reflex circuits and underlies the interpretation of many optogenetic manipulations. This perspective casts the brain as …

The watery part of the world dominated our science news coverage this week, beginning with the alarming prediction that a key Atlantic current, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which includes the Gulf Stream, could begin its irreversible collapse in decades. That’s according to a new landmark study, which combined the predictions of 25 climate models to arrive at an …
