TL;DR: A single cortical pyramidal neuron is not a point; it's a powerful, noise-robust, general-purpose computational unit.

Dendrites are not just wires to help neurons connect; they are the substrate for complex nonlinear computation. (15/15)

Because we were looking at some daffodils I said to the 2yo, “Do you ever wander lonely as a cloud?” but it came out like the pilot in Airplane asking the kid if he’s ever been in a Turkish prison.

@RichardGrenell @jreichelt Europe often feels like a group of children playing dress-up as politicians in kindergarten. At times it’s almost charming - but on other days, it’s simply exasperating.

NEW:

🇩🇪🇨🇳 German Chancellor Merz says Germans need to work more in order to match China:

“We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true.

But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly.

With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.”

[Siqi Chen @blader]

@vonderleyen i agree but we should make clear that regional stability and security is not more important than protecting theweekend. weekends must be protected. we are the EU after all. we must role model what a good work life balance looks like.
