Was Einstein's genius defined mostly by his unique structural connectomics or by his unique set of synaptic weights? Conceptually: structural connectomics synaptic weights = functional connectomics. (Yes, there's more than synaptic weights etc, so oversimplifying.) #neuroscience

Can AI do neuroscience without understanding?
Prediction without understanding sustained astronomy through a thousand years of epicycles. Artificial intelligence is now offering neuroscience the same deal.

A wandering mind is not the enemy of focus. It is the foundation of it. Your brain does not run on intensity. It runs on rhythm.

Trying to draft a kind of "graphical abstract" on visual prosthesis BCI options... brain implants with electrodes, ultrasound with optogenetics or nanoparticles, and noninvasive visual-to-auditory sensory substitution. Suggestions for improvement? #neuroscience

Neurons receive precisely tailored teaching signals as we learn (well, as mice learn) https://mcgovern.mit.edu/2026/02/25/neurons-learn/ "the brain can deliver neuron-specific feedback during learning";

Neurons receive precisely tailored teaching signals as we learn - MIT McGovern Institute
When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons so each one can adjust its activity in the right direction. The finding echoes a key idea from modern artificial intelligence. Many […]

Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset #deafness (in cats) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-39490-8

Time course of visual plasticity following adult-onset deafness - Scientific Reports
When deprived of a sensory modality, the brain often compensates with supranormal performance in other intact systems. While this compensatory plasticity is typically attributed to early sensory loss, plasticity following adult-onset sensory loss remains poorly understood despite its clinical relevance. In many patients, adult-onset hearing loss precedes treatment by cochlear implantation, yet little is known about the neural changes occurring before this intervention. The present study examine…
