@rssmith.bsky.social and I are working on a symposium proposal on interoceptive and embodied computational psychiatry for this - do let us know if you would like to join as we have open slots. Focus is on quantification and intervention.

I could not find a body representation starter pack so I made one! Please message if you want to join. I know I missed excellent scientists, philosophers and clinicians out there go.bsky.app/EAmckAo

Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, with more elaborate branching, and distinct nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons. Are they more functionally complex? Could that boost the human brain’s computational power? and is that what makes us human? (1/11)

Just switching over to Bluesky now. Looking forward to good discussions and finding out about new papers again!
