Relevant to all fields of Neurology (and Medicine, as Dr. Okun points out), including recovery from acute brain injury.
Beautiful piece from one of the greatest thinkers on our explicit role in our understanding of the universe.

What is the minimal machinery needed for complex, cognition-like behavior? With @lostintheswarm.bsky.social, we show how self-sustained calcium oscillations, diffusion, and mechanics may be enough to coordinate behavior across a single cell with no nervous system.

The brain is more than spiking neurons. Astrocytes, a large fraction of cells, propagate electrical influences without spiking. And cortical neurons spike only intermittently. Electrical signals are continuous and across all cells.
