Because science starts with human interactions.... we must hope for people with different cultures, expertise, perspectives and footwear to leave their prejudices at the door and learn to appreciate each others` strengths...

Simulation neuroscience is a catalyst for experimental neuroscience, not a replacement.
H. Markram (Neuroscience News and Research, 2020)
Global understanding, when it comes, will likely take the form of highly diverse panels loosely stitched together into a patchwork quilt
Churchland and Abbott (Nature Neuroscience, 2016)
...we should read the words on the page or screen, not the words in our head as we read papers by other scientists and try to make sure that our own papers capture our intent.

Neither ignore the details nor be consumed by them... the balance is the challenge in advancing our understanding.
Skinner and Mulloney (Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1998)
The future will depend on stronger quantitative understanding in our experimental community and better biology intuition in our theory community.

Mathematics is biology`s next microscope.

KCNhub members Drs. Afroditi Talidou and Jeremie Lefebvre and collaborators publish new paper
The authors studied the effects of activity-dependent myelination (ADM) on network activity and information transmission in the brain. They found that ADM implements a homeostatic gain control mechanism that enhances neural firing rates and correlations through the temporal coordination of action potentials as axon lengths increase. Moreover, ADM enhances information transmission under various types of time-varying stimuli. These results highlight the role of ADM in shaping neural activity and communication.
