the been went first for toward the long stimulus and then toward the short, can you explain ?

Totally agree with you, especially about dexterity ! Regarding cognition I think there are exciting things to investigate in rodent which can be relevant for humans, but for this we need to stop asking rodents to behave like primates (but this is debatable)

Britton, you don't think understanding voluntary movements can still gain for rodent neuroscience ?

As the days of animal experimentation appear counted, I am not sure that a dividing stance inside the neuroscience community (e.g., only non-human primate research can give insight for human brain function) is the way to go. I'd say that it will only speed up that process.

I will, I should have preprinted it 12 months ago but now that I look at it again I feel it needs some more work. Will keep you posted. thanks for your work

yes sorry, character limits in posts here ...

Ce qui est grave c'est de présupposer qu'il faille nécessairement se passer d'experimentation animale. C'est un choix de société possible mais qui aura des conséquences néfastes. Faire croire qu'on peut comprendre le vivant dans une boite de pétri 🤔🤐...C'est la recherche qui est dans le viseur

Looks so relevant to our work. The skill to give feedback and receive it ....a neverending process. All my collaborative failures (and success) came down to wether feedback could be exchanged... No Zoom link ?

Thanks! Super relevant and I did nt know about it!

Each time someone replaces the word "human" by the word "brain" it kinds of put me in a bad mood. Why do I care ?

Intersting discussions🙏.
@wiringthebrain.bsky.social brought Bergson's name next to vitalism 🤔. I am curious: do really people think Bergson is a vitalist ?
He is not. You were right that Bergson's elan vital is not a thing. It is a metaphore to describe certain features of life
