"Content" is one of the most bizarre terms used by analytic philosophers looking at neuroscience. They seem to think that neuroscience notions of representation imply a containment metaphor... but I can't imagine most of us who use "representation" have ever thought this way.

@WiringTheBrain Getting closer, but the "simply" does a lot of work here. So does "relational", "contextual", etc. Fleshing those notions out in rigorous explicit detail is what's required to provide a naturalistic explanation for meaning, imo. Really great to follow the development!

@cian_neuro @cnl_mbu_iisc @Timothy0Leary @whatishealth21 BTW, if i remembercorrectly, a single synapse has ~several dozen of AMPARs, so it will be noisy even with a pure simulation with identical glutamate release, provided we include ion channel stochasticy. And it's not enough to remove the variance via central limit theorem

This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of. Out now in @ScienceMagazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working? The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵

In recent weeks we’ve seen several phony and harmful science claims about autism, and we’re worried this could be the latest. The trailer itself is concerning. We’ll be watching closely to check @netflix isn’t spreading misinformation about autism to millions of people. (3/5)
The advert clearly says: “Diseases like… autism… are all related to the gut.” Autism is a lifelong disability. Words like “disease” suggest something is wrong with someone and it can be cured. That’s just not appropriate when talking about autistic people. (2/5)
Some people have messaged us about a programme launching on @netflix tomorrow called Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut. They’re worried about its claims. We’ve watched the trailer and, to be honest, we’re really worried too. Here’s why: 🧵(1/5)

“Expanded clinical phenotype spectrum correlates with variant function in SCN2A-related disorders” by Alfred George et al. Brain academic.oup.com/brain/advance-… 3/3
@evolanguagemind @WiringTheBrain I think it also aligns with Dennett's 'Real Patterns'. Would you agree David?
@WiringTheBrain I really liked this paper. I wanna suggest looking into C.S. Peirce’s semiotics. I expect use of the term “vehicle” comes somewhat from Peirce’s sign vehicles, and as such your analysis could benefit from seeing neurotransmitters as the representative sign vehicles w/ content. *
@WiringTheBrain Really similar to what Dennett proposed in "Things about things". And that can only be a good thing!
@WiringTheBrain Uh oh, watch out. Now you are really getting sucked into philosophy! Before long you'll have stopped doing actual experiments and will only be doing thought experiments 😀 Next up: lying awake at night worrying about whether the Chinese Room actually understands meaning or not!
@WiringTheBrain Language doesn't exist-it happens./ Language is used to top up the context, not the other way round./ Meaning depends on the information people can take out of an utterance, rather than the information that is already in it. tinyurl.com/mv8km7jp
@WiringTheBrain Meaning is contextual and relational - perfect! Meaning of a phrase is what it stands for in a context. Hence, in different contexts the same phrase may have different meanings. I will add more comments later. For now, please take a look - ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/007345
@WiringTheBrain I like that you’re foregrounding transduction while grappling with these questions. Direct (perception or anything else) breaks down pretty quickly when more than one system is involved. Yet transduction would seem to operate at a pragmatic level, not a semantic level…
@DavidBeniaguev @cnl_mbu_iisc @Timothy0Leary @whatishealth21 agree. Also some good evidence that vesicle size heterogeneity has a large effect (i.e. for the subset of trials when a vesicle is released). Eg this paper estimated it contributes ~0.5 CV to EPSCs cell.com/fulltext/S0896…
The news of the last 24 hours: - Cops all over the country beat up and arrest student protesters. - Bird flu in the milk - Scientists predict the most active hurricane season ever. - Massive numbers of people in the UK have disabling long COVID. Just a truly banging timeline
@WiringTheBrain I'm looking forward to reading this, but after reading Sapolsky's last 2 massive books, I'll be surprised if you can convince me that agency = free will as commonly conceived.
