@KordingLab There are broadly 2 methods of enquiry in neuroscience: „kinematic“ description or „dynamic“ prescription, fitting the goals of explaining or predict/control (resp) found in science generally. Both valid; caveat „There is no science but the science of the general“ (Poincaré 1905)

@Timothy0Leary Might depend on what you metric for chaos is. I like the Smale horseshoe map and have been reasonably convinced that electrogenic cells can be chaotic. Agree that might not be the case for neurons in healthy animals though.

@marielgoddu Practically, CT is problematic. However, the philosophical content Thom developed in CT is interesting, I.e. defining form (individuation) through the topology of a systems fixed points.

[Sean Weaver @SeanWeaver92]

@marielgoddu It was a way to classify DS (strictly, only gradient systems) based on their topology at bifurcations. A brief overview and criticisms of CT are given here: Smale, Stephen. "EC Zeeman, Catastrophe theory: Selected papers, 1972–1977." (1978).

@JWietek @L_andreae This is what I was able to achieve with the pre-syntagma (green, MAP2 blue)

[Sean Weaver @SeanWeaver92]

@JWietek @L_andreae It is, but it is a cytoplasm tag to show which neurons have the pre-mGRASP expressing. This is what I have using an AAV9 from the VVF with pre-mGRASP

@TheresaMWelle @nishfish26 @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice Same here...
