» But to what extent & at what scales
brain dynamics & function depend on the specific details of their nodes & edges

&, on the other hand,

to what extent
simple network structure retains sufficient information to account for brain structure, dynamics, & function

are not yet totally clear questions «

» #neuroscience has become so broad & technically sophisticated that individual researchers can no longer fully understand the technical foundations of their experiments.

The average #systemsneuroscience project, for example, requires in-depth knowledge of animal #surgery #mechanical #optical & #electrical #engineering #statistics and #computerscience «

Professor @melaniemitchell gives 2023 #MargaretBoden Lecture:

”the inability to form conceptual abstraction —and to make abstraction-driven analogies— is a primary source of brittleness and unreliability in #sota #AI”

”I think the the problem that AI has faced at least up till recently is that it has relied on #statistical associations rather than forming concepts”

Cool #BrainInspired Surprise:

#ContextChangesEverything comes about 25 years after her previous classic #DynamicsInAction

#AliciaJuarrero is a philosopher and has been interested in complexity since before it was cool

@elduvelle_neuro I agree with @beneuroscience @kofanchen and @alicia_izquierdo here. One very broad way to look at it could be the classic nature (genes, evolution --> #neuroethology) vs nurture (environment, epigenetics --> behavioral #neuroscience)?

To slightly rephrase what others have stated - #neurothology studies the mechanisms that the brain has evolved to function in its natural conditions. If I were to draw a venn diagram for this, there could be/is an intersection between the 2 sets (behavioral neuroscience and neuroethology) but they are 2 different sets. There's #EfficientCoding based on response to natural statistics of the animal's environment that I think lies at the intersection. While there may be a behavioral response to a stimulus in the lab, it doesn't mean that the stimulus even exists in the statistics of the animal's natural environment.

In a lab, you can rewire the auditory cortex of a ferret's brain and they can start "seeing" with their auditory cortex but it doesn't mean that in a "normal" animal's brain that's what happens.

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/25/science/rewired-ferrets-overturn-theories-of-brain-growth.html
https://web.mit.edu/surlab/publications/Newton_Sur04.pdf

I think of it this way -- there could be several mechanisms to achieve the same output (behavior) in a lab setting but that doesn't mean that the brain actually uses any or all of those mechanisms in its natural environment. Heck, even in the natural environment the brain could (and very likely does) exhibit #degeneracy where distinct structural units could give rise to the same function (behavior) under different circumstances.

Also, given the diversity of responses to the OP, adding #neurobuzz @neurobuzz 🙂​
