Collorary1: What does a neuroscientist **know**?

Clock genes expressed in hair follicles. Light (summer) entertains thyroid stimulating hormone across the population. Which is read by the hair follicles. So we all shed/grow hair in synchrony. Test: phase shift in peak search across the latitudes.

What a spectacular observation! :)
It sent me down the rabbit hole: not sure if this is it: circabimonthly; and sync between hair follicle shedding and photoperdiocity

Thank you, Harsha-ji, for the shoutout.

Well spotted on the similarity. Here's the plot from the same analysis as @dlevenstein.bsky.social 's, for the Spiking NN model in my paper (Fig 5).

Coriander chutney (coriander, ginger, green chili, sugar, salt and roasted chana dal/dalia) is a supreme pesto substitute. ONO.

I am particularly moved by the analogy of fermentation.

According to Brhaspati, thinking is due to the four constitutive
principles of matter, just as the power to intoxicate is due to the
ingredients in the wine. What we call a human body, or a sense
organ, or a physical object, is just a combination (samudāya; an as-
semblage) of earth, fire, air, and water; indeed, these four kinds of
matter are all there is. A person is a human body endued with think-
ing, and individual lives differ one from another as bubbles differ in
water. Recent work on the reconstruction of Br q haspati’s text allows us
to conjecture that it begins as follows:
1.1  Next then we will examine the nature of the reals.
1.2  Earth, fire, air, and water are the reals.
1.3 Their combination is called the ‘body’, ‘senses’, and ‘objects’.
1.4 Consciousness (caitanya) [is formed] out of these [elementary reals].
1.5  As the power to intoxicate [is formed] out of fermenting ingredients.
1.6  A human being (purus q a) is a body qualified by consciousness.
1.7 [Thinking is] from the body alone.
1.8  Because of its presence when there is a body.

'The book of the dead' has (what looks like) a TL;DR summary at the top of each page. The book itself is a cheat sheet of spells one took into the afterlife. #PapyrusMuseumVienna

Hi! I work in theoretical neuroscience. I wonder why neurons spike spontaneously. Spoiler: mitochondria.

I am based in Vienna. I would be happy to discuss my research.

Nature suggests you use their "Manuscript Adviser" bot to get advice before submitting

I uploaded the classic Watson & Crick paper about DNA structure, and the Adviser had this to say about one of the greatest paper endings of the century:
