actually it was just journal clubbed at ours

I wish I could!

This seems like a big deal?

Soooo beautiful 😍

We need XJ as invited speaker!

re all the way down -- I think the spinal cord and maybe when the brainst may be a different beast! But of course it's just an intuition

I've been looking forward to this one

Many would argue that bifurcations happen in manifolds 😆

Such a great analysis
All of us in recent generations crying in shakirooo

yes definitely this is not the ideal medium for a real conversation! Hope we can catch up in person at some point, this is a really nice project

I think the homology is still a bit elusive… and there are probably good reasons for it
I think there's evidence that RFA is premotor cortex-y and I think Allen M2 doesn't look like it at least in a recent task we looked at in collab w @dudman.bsky.social so maybe it's more SMAish?

this figure is beautiful is gorgeous. I just need the time to read your paper… 😥

interesting, have you looked at M2 "proper". I'm wondering if there's some homology with primates who, if memory serves, have disynaptic projections to motoneurons originating from parts of the cingulate cortex... any thoughts?

(I'm just curious still need to read the paper so sorry if it's there)

I'll read the preprint, but in case other people are wondering, did you look at changes specific to CFA and RFA of M1? (Is the increase greater for RFA vs CFA?)
Also, does this increase in CSNs come with the price of a decrease in RSNs? (To the extent that this can be measured)
Thanks!

I was thinking that Newtonian mechanics is a good example of that. It's an intelligible idea, it let's you predict outcomes before running experiments, but it breaks outside context --the very large and the very small

I think what he means --again still need to read the book-- is that intelligible, understandable theories can be "useful" outside context (i.e. when they are wrong) 1/2

She's great! Congratulations again Dr Vermani
