Wow! Check out this thoughtful and mindbending preprint from Jacob Bien and colleagues describing their experience teaching non-technical MBA students data science via Github Copilot: "Generative AI for Data Science 101: Coding Without Learning To Code" arxiv.org/abs/2401.17647
Plugging invisible gaps in the synaptic connectome By @elissawelle.bsky.socialwww.thetransmitter.org/connectome/p...
Two new maps of the roundworm nervous system detail how neurons communicate with short proteins called neuropeptides outside synapses.
Full-disclosure: there are also two supplementary figures in addition to the single maintext figure.
Immobilized worms exhibit stereotyped neural oscillations often called manifolds. We wondered: are they internally generated? Gauthey shows that bright light commonly used for imaging is sufficient to evoke the oscillations and that a known light-sensitive pathway contributes.
