@sapinker But we do need a way to integrate all the data from various levels of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, systems...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker We need smaller theories of what specific cells and circuits are for. Will emerge from more hypothesis driven expats, IMO - 1 more reply

@sapinker Hope is over-arching theories will emerge from the details (we'll see if it actually happens...) -
@WiringTheBrain@sapinker Do you think mega-model approach is better than many smaller local models? Esp for the money? -

@sapinker perhaps conept of "for" is a property of consciousness not computational/evolutionary property? oft said there is no 'why' in evo.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker Are you just trolling comp neuro? Perhaps you could make a less facile claim in a forum allowing more detailed response.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker My understanding is that no one has been able to simulate even simplest brain. Wouldn't it be better to start small & build up?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker What is up with affective neuroscience's antagonism toward compu/evo theories of mind/brain? Why can't they see the compatibility?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
