Fabrizio MusacchioThe #brainโs code seems to be in constant flux. #Neurons fire much more erratically than researchers thought. What does that mean for how the brain works?

Fabrizio Musacchio๐ง New paper by Chiu et al: #SST #interneurons do not only suppress #dendritic signaling. Via tonic activation of ฮฑ5 #GABA receptors they can paradoxically enhance AP-evoked dendritic #CalciumSignaling in #cortical #pyramidal #neurons.

๐ง New paper by Chiu et al: #SST #interneurons do not only suppress #dendritic signaling. Via tonic activation of ฮฑ5 #GABA receptors, they can paradoxically enhance AP-evoked dendritic #CalciumSignaling in #cortical #pyramidal #neurons.
Mechanistically, tonic #GABA hyperpolarizes #dendrites & deinactivates low-threshold voltage-gated #calcium channels, increasing calcium influx and facilitating calcium-dependent inhibitory #SynapticPlasticity.

Zarion ZoryIf your most deeply held beliefs were inherited from ancestors who lived in a world that no longer exists, at what point did you actually choose your own mind?
In mouse #BarrelCortex, slow recurrent background fluctuations appear to compensate for the tiny dendrites of L4 spiny stellate #neurons, allowing even single #thalamocortical #spikes to be reliably represented at the population level with millisecond precision.

๐ง Interesting new work on #cortical #PopulationCoding: Revah, Wolf, Gutnick & Neef show that the #encoding performance of cortical #neurons is not determined by single-cell properties alone, but by a combination of #dendrite size, #synaptic noise statistics, ion channels, and population size.

What public figure do you disagree with the most? No need to filter out the rest, I disagree with the majority, and I believe that is a good thing. ๐ค The society is sugarcoating the situation by calling it 'critical thinking' or 'thinking outside the box'โฆ In the end, they should all be simplified by using your mind, since our greatest asset is our analytical skills. Learning can be learned, so being ignorant about something is optional, and learning how to learn is the solution.
