Interesting physics punctuated by incredible videos!

Sometimes, the only way to build back up is to let everything fall apart. This is certainly true at the cellular level. www.quantamagazine.org/break-it-to-...
Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.
This beautifully written piece by Guillame Dumas for @psychologytoday.com makes a compelling case for social neuroAI: the idea that minds don't just interact, they co-create intelligence *between* them.

Differences between species should be treated as informative constraints that refine theory, not as inconsistencies to be explained away, writes @suthanalab.bsky.social.

Can we predict a thought before it happens?
To know what one neuron will do next, you have to know what the entire brain is doing right now.
In our latest @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social Deeper Learning blog, @duranrin.bsky.social introduces POCO, a tool paving the way for adaptive neurotechnology.

We explored how to measure the similarity between two complex systems when they are driven by external inputs, like biological neural circuits or reinforcement learning agents. Our novel method, calle...

If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.
It’s brutal in academia right now. A lot is out of our control, but it doesn’t cost anything to remember that there are humans behind papers and grants…reviewers, program officials and funders can be more empathetic in the face of unprecedented chaos in the US scientific enterprise.
