New from the lab!! 👉🏼 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kgT43BtfH... 📝 @cellpress.bsky.social We discovered that genetically-defined neuron types in the hippocampus form unique manifolds! Dual color imaging, chemogenetics and topological analysis all at once! With Juan Gallego @juangallego.bsky.social

really great thread by Blake. Each neuron in an artificial neural network (ANN) isn't supposed to accurately model a neuron in the brain.
Instead, ANNs are good models of computation (through dynamics/manifolds) based on the collective activity of simpler "functions" (i.e., the neurons)

1/ Okay, one thing that has been revealed to me from the replies to this is that many people don't know (or refuse to recognize) the following fact:
The unts in ANN are actually not a terrible approximation of how real neurons work!
A tiny 🧵.

Why does anyone have any issue with this?
I've seen people suggesting it's problematic, that neuroscientists won't like it, and so on.
But, I literally don't see why this is problematic...

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD
Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce:
We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky!
We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct.
Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions.
Let's get into it!

Anne Churchland and Felicia Davatolhagh discuss why we must address the gender gap in neuroscience citations.

Women are systematically under-cited in neuroscience. New tools can change that.
An omitted citation in a high-profile paper led us to examine our own practices and to help others adopt tools that promote citation diversity.

Since we can't predict which grant applications will benefit science and our societies the most, we should either randomly allocate grants among the applications that meet a quality threshold, or increase the success rate by reducing the funding per grant.

Since this is getting busier, here's the #sensorimotor starter pack again go.bsky.app/U4oyFgw
There's still room to add more people, so ask to be added if not on the list
