How to build a brain from a genome? We know a lot about the mechanisms and molecules We revisit the algorithmic problem: What kinds of programs can specify a brain within the genome’s information budget and the finite time available for development? https://t.co/evpJXX5s1l 3K views · 42 likes · 10 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

paper out! "most animal behavior is not the result of clever learning algorithms but is encoded in the genome. Specifically, animals are born with highly structured brain connectivity, which must be compressed through a “genomic bottleneck”. https://t.co/9i0Nnpnrs6 0 views · 2K likes · 647 reposts · 64 replies Open on X →
