Dan Goodman<p>Preview of the talk I'm giving on Friday. <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/CompNeuro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CompNeuro</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ComputationalNeuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputationalNeuroscience</span></a></p>
Neurofrontiers<p>When I transitioned from cognitive to computational neuroscience, I found myself in a bit of a bind. I had learned calculus, but I had progressed little beyond pattern recognition: I knew which rules to apply to find solutions to which equations, but the equations themselves lacked any sort of real meaning for me. </p><p>So I struggled with understanding how formulas could be implemented in code and why the code I was reading could be described by those formulas. Resources explaining math “for neuroscientists” were unfortunately quite useless for me, because they usually presented the necessary equations for describing various neural systems, assuming the presence of that basic understanding/intuition I lacked. </p><p>Of course, I figured things out eventually (otherwise I wouldn’t be writing about it), but I’m 85% sure I’m not the only one who’s ever struggled with this, and so I wrote the tutorial I wish I could’ve had. If you’re in a similar position, I hope you’ll find it useful. And if not, maybe it helps you get a glimpse into the struggles of the non-math people in your life. Either way, it has cats.</p><p><a href="https://neurofrontiers.blog/building-a-virtual-neuron-1/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">neurofrontiers.blog/building-a</span><span class="invisible">-virtual-neuron-1/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ComputationalNeuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputationalNeuroscience</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/tutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tutorial</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a></p>

Dan Goodman<p>What's the right way to think about modularity in the brain? This devilish 😈 question is a big part of my research now, and it started with this paper with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@GabrielBena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>GabrielBena</span></a></span> finally published after the first preprint in 2021! </p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-55188-9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s41467-024</span><span class="invisible">-55188-9</span></a></p><p>We know the brain is physically structured into distinct areas ("modules"?). We also know that some of these have specialised function. But is there a necessary connection between these two statements? What is the relationship - if any - between 'structural' and 'functional' modularity?</p><p>TLDR if you don't want to read the rest: there is no necessary relationship between the two, although when resources are tight, functional modularity is more likely to arise when there's structural modularity. We also found that functional modularity can change over time!
