Thanks for the @ArtemKirsanov channel. I'm really enjoying his video on "How I make science animations" [1]. That's some cool Python & After Effects. I've always wanted to know how to go about it, especially since I have enough experience with Python and some experience with Sketch/Figma.
- but what if there could be other levels - if somehow connected - like e.g. (2025) of traveling [between cells] mitochondria fling DNA into our brain cells :
worth to look into - like.. are that maybe not junk but real messages than can modify the brain inner working in.. different ways ?? (..and more reasons (than maybe.. stress?? ) for them to.. - or why they travel (those.. symbionts - ..of energy?? ) ? - is it smart ? - or just alien ? ) ;)
To be more clear.. That every neuron has different DNA (ID) makes the neurogenesis very costly.. - but for what is that ? - could thanks that relations between neurons like parent or distance be recognized in same way as by comparing just parts of IDs of nodes indexed with some XML/tree indexing scheme ? - could thanks that the whole branches of the brain be.. DNA addressed also ? - isn't there some code (DNA) being moved between cells by.. traveling mitochondria (symbionts??), for some reasons - sometimes then to be integrated into other cell nucleus ? - then.. why ? - and what more ?? Does that code have meaning or any of it in any way matter or connect ("intelligence" thanks from the mother inherited my cells power or its crew ? ;) - or maybe just.. lets don't mind it ?
i think eddie chang's paper on voice synthesizing is published, i forget if it was nature or neuron. it's prob on pubmed but i'm too lazy/sleepy to pull it. doris tsao and a number of collaborators have a few nice papers out w ML applications to single unit/LFP recordings
They can now capture the activity of hundreds of neurons! That’s simultaneously amazing and so, so far from being able to create the digital twin they claim.
Amazing, there are estimated 86 billion neurons in the human brain, so they are just short of 85 billion and change.
But I think there is more to it, how many are used for speech vs vision, how much is used for motor control. If the idea is to build a speech neuron activity to some sort of ml data representation it's probably way less than 85b.

Either that or we will have to severely retard progress to human pace.

this is list of software, hardware, and other material on neuroscience
UCSF is big part of BRAIN Initiative lead by Allen Institute, many of the tools and their work is collected in Open Neuroscience Foundation
