Replicating experiments in a supercomputer can help us understand the brain
1) We replicated auditory experiments (usually of rat/mice) on a detailed model of the neocortex and discovered novel mechanism for the phenomena observed in the experiments

Paper is published! If you've ever wondered about whether real neurons are anything like the nodes in artificial neural networks...

2. The exponential growth rate is very high (about x10 per week) and seems to be universal across these countries.

1. The unique point in time where the COVID-19 disease shifts from “calm” stable state to an outbreak is highly prominent here. Scary!

1/3 Thank you #NetSciX2020 @HirokiSayama for a fantastic interdisciplinary conference! It's an honor and a pleasure to receive the award.
I'm attaching the poster here, if it can be of any help to someone. But more importantly, also the analysis, code, and connectomics dataset.

[NetSciX2020 @NetSciX2020]

the poster presentation award goes to . . . congratulations all!!! #NetSciX2020

[Eyal Gal @gialdetti]

@HirokiSayama 2/3 I've created a self-contained (hopefully..) live notebook to provide a high-level background for our neuro & network scientific analysis, and an easy playground for exploring the neuronal network data. I'm sure most of you can contribute or benefit by applying your own tools.

Happy 150th Birthday! This March I was asked by Nature to help design the journal cover for the 150 anniversary. It has a true honor and a fabulous journey, with several wondrous products, all released this week, https://t.co/hNty08YUFD

Experimental connectomics!
Multiple mechanisms including global positional cues, partner-derived cues, and synaptic activity contribute to proper circuit assembly in Drosophila - exciting preprint from @albertcardona and Marta Zlatic labs at @HHMIJanelia

Our latest paper where we analyze the triplet model of STDP that uses triplets of spikes to induce plasticity in recurrent networks and generate self-connected assemblies. https://t.co/mKef4VBFZg

Hmm, well... The real truth and our naturally-selected perception - nobody has ever promised they meant to go together.

There's now a subreddit that's populated entirely by neural nets who are themselves simulating other subreddits.

They're sometimes kind to each other, sometimes awful, and they keep trying to ban each other's posts.

"We concluded that the local geometry of cortical neurons imposes an innate, highly structured, global network structure, a skeleton upon which fine-grained structural and functional plasticity processes take place."

😍 Really really cool

[Eyal Gal @gialdetti]

@json_dirs @iandanforth Thanks for the interesting perspective of these biological results.
Indeed, as I see it, #4 emerge also from skip connections architectures. I hope the attached sketch conveys the message.
So does the brain hint us for better architectures? .. a good question :)

[jonny saunders @json_dirs]

Good GOD this paper is a monster. 12-cell simultaneous patching, recording from 7,309 cortical triplets to validate models of fundamental geometric constrains on cortical connectivity motifs. 😲😯😲😯😲
