Are #Up-down states all about network dynamics?
In a recently revised preprint with @rcfduarte.bsky.social, H. Fritz, and P. Hagoort, we explore the role of nonlinear #dendrites as coincidence detectors and amplifiers of network fluctuations.

At #BernsteinConference heated debate on WM mechanisms. I love that this is still far to be settled!
trained RNNs from A.Compte aligns with fruitfly direction WM data from K.Nagel: it is persistent.
Large scale recording in macaque V1 in T.Moore Lab: it is not.
#neuroskyence what's your take?

Progesterone is another sex hormone best known for its effects on the female reproductive system. Similar to estrogens, however, it’s becoming increasingly clearer that progesterone impacts many more systems in the body, both in females and in males.

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.

If Purple isn’t real, then what is?

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?
