- If oscillations are modulated in amplitude from trial to trial, and those oscillations have a non-zero mean, they "create" an evoked response. It is a baseline-shift mechanism for ERP/ERF generation. Here is a simulated example of how alpha oscillations may generate readiness potential. #brainmovies
- Activity-dependent and injury-induced myelination is carried out via different routes. In healthy zebrafish, activity-related plasticity was linked to recently proliferated oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). But during demyelination, OPCs without prior proliferation were also recruited. Cool!👍

- Energy pathways from whole-brain transcriptomics have certain spatial distributions. 4 out of 5 maps look similar, while pentose phosphate pathway looks different. Interesting that energy maps only partially agree with PET data. Nice!👏 I wonder how those maps correlate with vascular architecture.

- I read a book. “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies” by Nick Bostrom. It's from 2014, but very much present-day. Read my opinion here www.alinastudenova.com/home/blog/bo...
