- The brain is more than spiking neurons. Astrocytes, a large fraction of cells, propagate electrical influences without spiking. And cortical neurons spike only intermittently. Electrical signals are continuous and across all cells. #neuroscience www.quantamagazine.org/once-thought...
- New discovery! Value-based decisions reorganize neural state space. Options are first encoded in orthogonal subspaces Then the selected option rotates into a "readout subspace". Neural subspace reorganization reflects value-based decision making. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #neuroscience
