"An international research team involving scientists has described the process of growing three-dimensional manganese dendrites. The researchers found that it occurs through accretion of manganese oxide nanoparticles. Understanding the dynamics of the growth of three-dimensional mineral dendrites is important for various fields of science - physics, geology, material sciences and even the study of extraterrestrial environments".

Yiota Poirazi's (https://nitter.net/yiotapoirazi) microbiology lab in Greece is coming up with some really intriguing neuroscience concepts that might improve deep learning artificial neutral networks:
- #engrams :: subgraphs of neurons for encoding memories
- #dendrites :: appear to have the computational capacity of a multilayer deep learning neural network

Python framework `dendrify` used to add dendrite computational models to #DeepLearning #NeuralNetworks.

The problem with consciousness research is that we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval theories, and god-like technology (to paraphrase E.O. Wilson)

Let's use the data provided by this technology to develop new theories of consciousness. Our attempt:

This article [Introducing the Dendrify framework for incorporating dendrites to spiking neural networks | Nature Communications](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35747-8)

helps address the criticisms of #neuralnetworks that I presented to Paul Smolensky over 10 years ago regarding lack of realism of connectionist neurons given what we then/now know about real biological computing at the #postSynaptic juncture:

During metamorphosis, fly larval PNS neurons prune their sensory #dendrites by essentially severing them from the cell bodies. This relies on local cytoskeleton disassembly - but how are they severed?

Emergence of synaptic organization and computation in dendrites
https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/nf-2021-0031/html

Single neurons in the brain exhibit astounding computational capabilities, which gradually emerge throughout development and enable them to become integrated into complex neural circuits. These capabilities derive in part from the precise arrangement of synaptic inputs on the neurons’ dendrites.

An introduction after moving my account to neuromatch.social -

I'm a neuroscientist at #Cornell. My recent research focuses on psychoactive drugs such as #ketamine and #psychedelics. I want to know how these compounds act on #dendrites and cortical microcircuits to mediate behavioral effects.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy drinking a good cup of espresso and rock climbing with my kids.

#introduction #neuroscience #NeuroscienceMigration #ScienceMastodon

Very much looking forward to reading this review on #predictive #coding with #dendrites!

https://www.cell.com/trends/neurosciences/fulltext/S0166-2236(22)00186-2

as a mastodon newbie, I forgot to add those hashtags to my #introduction

so here we go:
I work on #AI, #vision, #consciousness, #VR, #prediction, #insight, #smartphones, #psychedelics, #intracranial, #computational models, #thalamus, #cortex, #dendrites

My philosophy in science is that you don't have to stick to one topic ... don't be constrained by your past, switch fields if you want to!

I like to visit schools and talk about #neuroscience to #kids

Proud to be from and in #estonia
