The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization (2017, positive): “All brains accomplish the same core task (Sterling and Laughlin, 2015): to efficiently ensure resources for physiological systems within an animal’s body (i.”
A Complete Electron Microscopy Volume of the Brain of Adult Drosophila melanogaster (2017, background): “Maps of connectivity inform and constrain all models of how neuronal circuits transform information and subserve behavior (Braitenberg and Schüz, 1998; Marr, 1969; Sterling and Laughlin, 2015).”
Large-scale neuromorphic computing systems (2016, methodology): “The full biological details of the neuron are dauntingly complex [ 3 ] , but widely accepted models abstract away most of the biological detail to yield a multiple-input single-output device where a range of different mathematical formulations can be used to describe the input-out transfer…”
The frontiers of insect cognition (2017, background): “There are >150 identified types of neurons in just its visual periphery (the ganglia lamina, medulla and lobula) [62] and”
