Michael's long version of the argument is in book form too, highly recommend it:

𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Excellent episode of the Big Biology podcast.

really excellent paper

Major paper in neuroscience: 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 I had seen some talks and it looked amazing.

Is motor cortex too complex to understand? Much harder than visual cortex? Great discussion with Mark Churchland on the challenges of figuring out motor cortex.

𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆, definitely worth a read:

As good an introduction to 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 as you can get. By Thomas Varley. Definitely worth having for future reference.

Very exciting paper. Question: how much can a large system deviate from scale-free before affecting the stability results? In a way the brain is scale-free but at the same time it's really a system of systems, some of which are not so scale-free (that's my guess).

enjoyed it Corey! Eagerly awaiting the "positive" part. Btw did I ever ask you if you've looked into "computation over the reals"? Stuff that Stephen Smale was developing in the 1990s. I had a friend who went to do his PhD with him on that but I think the work fizzled.

4) Excellent discussion by Alex Shackman here:

there's so much, do you want reviews? or primary studies? The issue of understanding cross-species competencies?? I highly recommend this book on fishes, they are amazing and exhibit complex social behaviors too.

Check great thread:
