This is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen. He converted a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram (PNG -> Soundwave) then played it to a Starling who sung it back reproducing the PNG. Using the birds brain as a hard drive with 2mbps read write speed. youtube.com/watch?si=HMtVd…

Thrilled to announce that our paper is now finally out! 🎉We combine scRNAseq, 2p imaging, ephys, and behavior to understand the role of lateral septal Nts neurons in opioid withdrawal. Curious about the septum and addiction? Give it a read👇 cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

@nabeelqu form determines function; neural processing is dependent on complex spatial/temporal dynamics - this is why neurons have different shapes, form different layers, etc. and many modulatory effects are not strictly synaptic but depend on volumetric release or spill-out effects

@nabeelqu ulkar nailed it but I'll add: -easier to wire logically within biological constraints -easier to learn/repair etc. bc adult neurons don't like to do huge morphological changes -shorter transmission lengths increases speed, decreases size, decreases cellular stress in long cells
