• #Salience is the capacity to focus on what’s happening (foreground vs background).
• #Sapience is the capacity to make sense of what’s happening (build a model, infer, predict, plan).
• #Sentience is the capacity to feel what’s happening as mattering /urgency: good–bad, safe–danger, pain–relief

A horizontally oriented inhibitory neuron (yellow) spans the mediolateral axis of the superficial superior colliculus, with dense axonal arborization suggestive of a role in collicular surround suppression. Retinal ganglion cell terminals expressing ChR2 are shown in cyan (following intraocular AAV injection), while magenta highlights VGAT+ neurons labeled via a reporter AAV-tdTomato in a VGAT-Cre mouse.

#Visual #salience generation involves center-surround dynamics, but what performs these computations? This study shows that the #SuperiorColliculus encodes center-surround dynamics under isolated conditions, and provides insights into the circuit implementation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n7RpsA

Zack is spot on. Getting out and telling a new story, people can hold on to, is critical.
Corbyn is a great in person campaigner who badly needs a more TV friendly front for the yet to be officially named party. I fear Corbyn's historic baggage will be all the media ask about.

Title, authors’ names, and abstract from a paper about credibility, legitimacy, and salience of global environmental assessments and the science-policy interfaces regarding ocean sustainability

Global environmental assessments that synthesize ocean knowledge must “meet decision-makers’ needs” write @jjacquem.bsky.social et al. They reviewed 12 recent assessments on #credibility, #legitimacy & #salience & offer 4 recommendations, eg, increase #co-production practices doi.org/10.1038/s441...

Frontostriatal salience network expansion in individuals in depression - Nature Precision functional mapping shows that the frontostriatal salience network occupies nearly twice as much of the cortex in people with depression, and this was unaffected by mood changes and detected ...

Seeing coverage about @JDVance1 position on Ukraine at odds with majority of Americans. But #salience on this issue is low. Not seeing any evidence that any member of Congress was impacted by votes on Ukraine aid (whether for/against).
