Why the hell do dendrites generate **10 times** more (sodium) spikes than the soma?! Here is a brief review of this mystery and some thoughts, with Alain Destexhe. If you have any ideas, let me know! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S03…

The same darkness that descended on Harvard and other East Coast Universities has now come to UCLA. First this theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… Then this yahoo.com/news/articles/…

How can most us keep quiet about this? Because we are afraid of losing our jobs if there is even a hint of criticizing Israel? Or we just don't care? Humanity has hit a new low and I can't do anything about it. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Netanyahu should get the Nobel Peace prize, because all Palestinian children are terrorists, right? Why not just nuke them? theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

Aaaargh... nytimes.com/2025/06/21/opi…

Netanyahu pushed USA to attack Iraq, and not negotiate. c-span.org/clip/house-com… He has been pushing USA to attack Iran, and not negotiate, for decades, due to "imminnent nuclear threat". reuters.com/article/world/…

An example of biased media these days, dehumanizing one side: Iran killing civilians (which of course is tragic) vs Israel hitting military sites. No, Iranian civilians have been killed in every Israeli attack since Friday (in hundreds so far). Don't rebrand it. #StopTheWar

If we don't call out bullies, they will do much worse. Speak up.

🧠Announcing: Neural computations without borders🧠 Many students & postdocs are stuck due to visa or funding issues. To help in a small way, I will mentor ~ten students/postdocs anywhere, in neural computation, or neuro-AI projects, leading to publication/s. Email/dm/share.

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond3…

Wow. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria just broke down how Trump’s tariffs will unleash unprecedented levels of corruption and do extreme damage to the American economy. You have to watch this.

An insider trading scandal is brewing. Trump's 9:30am tweet makes it clear he was eager for his people to make money off the private info only he knew. So who knew ahead of time and how much money did they make?

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

.@elonmusk is a fraud, a criminal, a drug addict, a sociopath, a Nazi, and he is perpetrating—via “@DOGE”—the biggest scam on the American people and the federal government of the United States of America in history. This cannot continue. Musk must be removed from our government.

The real qustion is: Why would Musk want to know about war plans with china? ucla.zoom.us/j/96694042010?… All of Musk's money is in Tesla Cars. Chinese car maker BYD (and others) has made much better EV cars for 70% less price. cnbc.com/2025/03/18/byd…

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick went on Fox News and urged Americans to buy Tesla stock. Is this legal?

Anyone who posts random stuff on X as if nothing has changed, is making them money and thus directly help this sociopath destroy democracy, decency and freedom. This mess is on you. theguardian.com/technology/202…

@ZelenskyyUa President Zelenskyy is a true hero. Look at the number of nations that have stood up to support him and against American and Russian bullies within minutes. x.com/ZelenskyyUa

@MayBrittMoser Thank you for speaking up. It will inspire more people to at least do that. :)

@Neuro_Physics Thank you Mayank!

Coalition of Jewish groups say they're leaving X over Musk's behavior trib.al/RebAwsH
