#Introduction. I'm a theoretical neuroscientist at Columbia University. Primary focus on cerebral cortical circuits, both mature function and activity-dependent development (a form of learning). More general interest in intelligence & learning, e.g. neuro/AI interface, as well as long-term goal of understanding how cortex computes and analyzes and represents and learns. Also passionate about politics, and will post about that too -- coming from a belief in justice, freedom, everyone having a right to a secure and decent life and opportunities to develop and advance themselves, and in true democracy -- one person one voice, not one dollar one voice.
@kendmiller I’m working on my second book, part of which is how the brain “learns” depressive phenotypes. I think that your research could be a critical piece. Especially interested in activity-dependent development and LTP/LTD right now, but I also don’t know what I don’t know. Could I set up an hour or so to interview you by zoom?
@kendmiller welcome!
