  1. Happy birthday to #neuroscientist Hendrik Van der Loos (1929-1993) shown in my #linocut with his discovery (along with medical student Thomas Woolsey), of the barrel cortex, along with the mouse head & whiskers linked directly to it.

    Some species of rodents have a region of the somatosensory cortex that was named the #barrelcortex after its shape, and which contains the barrel field. 🧵1/

  5. Brain Rot and Your IQ: What Science Actually Says About Screen Time, Social Media, and Intelligence

    Henry David Thoreau coined “brain rot” in 1854 in Walden, writing about society’s preference for simple ideas over complex thought. The complaint maps remarkably well onto algorithmic content feeds 170 years later.

  9. Is Gen Z Getting Dumber? What the IQ Data Actually Shows About the First Generation to Score Lower Than Their Parents

    The Gen Z IQ story is not a story about a broken generation. It is a story about what happens when environments change faster than our understanding of what those environments are doing to cognition.

    The amazing #Neuroscientist Roddy Grieves has finally joined us on Mastodon / Fedi!

    Roddy does really cool research on rats navigating in 3D and the coding of boundaries in our memory. He will be very interested in following any neuroethologists, neuroscientists, or anyone interested in animal behaviour... But most importantly, he loves photography!

  21. ✨ Consciousness – the government spokesperson 📢 of our brain 🧠

    In our #Zoomposium, #neuroscientist #GerhardRoth describes #consciousness as a kind of government spokesperson: it interprets and legitimizes #actions whose actual reasons lie in unconscious neural processes – processes to which we have no direct access.

  25. How did human consciousness evolve? Neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin traces our sophisticated brains back to the first complex cells – Live Science

    1. Health Mind Neuroscience

    The evolution of life on Earth ‘almost predictably’ led to human intelligence, neuroscientist says

    Interview, By Nicoletta Lanese, published 2 days ago

    Neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin spoke to Live Science about how human consciousness evolved.

    “Consciousness,” although challenging to define, can be thought of as a first-person awareness of one’s surroundings and oneself. You sense the world through your eyes, nose, ears and hands, and track your internal bodily states via interactions between your cells. These data streams collide to give rise to your personal perception of the world, your place within it, and your motivations for moving through it.

    An enduring question about consciousness is how this state of awareness comes about. Is consciousness simply the result of a bunch of chemical reactions? Or is there some extra “secret ingredient”?

    In the book “One Hand Clapping: Unraveling the Mystery of the Human Mind” (Prometheus/Swift Press, 2025), New York University neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin explores these questions. To do so, he traces the evolutionary history of human consciousness from the formation of Earth’s first DNA molecules to present-day Homo sapiens. Kukushkin studies memory in non-brain biological systems, such as human kidney cells, as well as in simple organisms such as sea slugs. He also considers himself a “molecular philosopher.”

  27. I am not a #neuroscientist, but what if hard work studying actually helps synapses connect, and what if using LLMs is only a fraction of that?
