I'm thinking hard abt stuff in a tale I'm reading today - a short story by Alastair Reynolds called 'Glacial'. Ellipses are text skipped.

"A human mind is just a web of simple neuronal cells wired together.... The tricky part is the wiring diagram. It ... isn't encoded in DNA in any but the crudest sense. Otherwise why would a baby bother growing neural connections that were pruned down before birth?"

The conversation in the tale was about 'emergence', but the broader point is intriguing. Is it (the human embryo) building connections randomly then eliding useless cruft, which seems wildly inefficient, or are some other templates driving that initial wiring? But if those are not coded in DNA, where might they come from?

Oh, feel free to 'mute thread' if this is unutterably boring to you! I'm just thinking out loud.

Can #neurophysiology ever find the #mind in the #brain? In principle, no. Any attempt to derive consciousness purely from neural processes is doomed to failure.

Even for #SharpWaveRipple detection, the apparent consensus masked major differences: Some teams detected almost no ripples, others up to 10 per minute. Functional connectivity and spike-spike interaction analyses diverged even more.

A rat study has found that moderate aerobic exercise leads to remodeling of stellate ganglia in the neck and upper chest--part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates heart activity. Ganglia on left and right sides of the body underwent different changes in number, size, and volume.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) utilizes non-invasive electrical waveforms to help patients recover motor function following a spinal cord injury. Recent research evaluates whether newer, kilohertz-frequency waveforms are as effective as conventional, longer-duration waveforms at targeting the neural structures necessary for true rehabilitation.
