Seeking topologists interested in the brain.
I don& #39;t have a specific question, but I imagine interesting ideas may spring from a conversation.
From Paul Cisek& #39;s paper on viewing behavior through a phylogenetic lens.

"The neural activity in the circuit responding to that affordance is not a representation of a thing in the world; it is the specification of an action to take within the world."
Tempting to conclude that & #39;smell-following& #39; is the ancestor of & #39;higher thought& #39;.
But "thought" is not the right word. We need a short term for perception-action-loop. Suggestions?

I love information-dense but globally coherent figures like this. If you want to represent flows, don& #39;t use arrows with right angle turns!
Also: Luis Puelles developmental work should be widely celebrated.

This is super cool, and might fit with Friedrich Sanides& #39;s idea about the dual origin of the cortex: the parahippocampal and paraolfactory moeities.
Sanides is really hard to parse, but this review from my labmates is a good starting point: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6500485/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...

There is something epic about the evolutionary way of thinking, in the Mahabharata/Odyssey sense.
Our step away from reality into the world of cortical & #39;fantasy& #39; might have begun with an ancient noctural interlude.
(Wild speculation alert.)

The mammalian brain. Interesting how the amygdala seems to be a kind of fusion zone.
