Amz new brain cell type atlas. Most of the ~6K cell types emerged early, in ancient brain structures. Cortical cells are a very special subset, facilitating our species incredible episodic memories, and our Great Leap in social organization and foresight. quantamagazine.org/new-cell-atlas…
Our new 3 Min Animated Explainer Video: The Brain Preservation Option. Hope You Like It Friends! youtu.be/_g4MKbkL6Ok
We've reached 650 signatures to our Change.org petition! We are seeking 1,000 signatures by the end of the year. Can you help us get there? New 3-minute explainer video coming soon.
We're at 400 signatures a few weeks in. Can you help us get to 1,000 next?
Landmark paper! @WindingMichael & team have uploaded the 4th full animal connectome. Fruit Fly Larvae, w/ 3016 neurons & 550K synapses. Deeply recurrent & long-range connected. Huge insights for human learning & AI design. #Foresight #WholeBrainEmulation biorxiv.org/content/biorxi…
