I'm deeply touched to read @marinopagan's reflection on our 2013 contextual decision-making study in The Transmitter. Knowing that our work has influenced others' scientific journeys is both humbling and inspiring. 🙏.

To gain insight into complex neural data, we must move toward a data-driven regime, employing large models trained on vast amounts of data. Experts weigh in.

These are just top of mind. What other papers address "psychological phenomena" while going full-stack down the neuron and also include a theoretical hypothesis at the dynamics/meso-scale?.

Here's a paper that helps explain thirst satiety in mice. It goes all the way down to the level of individual neurons and cell types while providing a meso-scale explanation of satiety via a putative line attractor.

While I question the 90% figure, I agree with the core sentiment. However, I believe this will change significantly within the next decade or two due to improved recording methodologies, theoretical advances, and computational approaches in our understanding of how the brain.

This is a controversial claim, but in my experience, more than 90% of the time, when people bring up neuroscience during explanations of psychological phenomena, the neuroscience adds nothing of value to the explanation other than making the explanation *seem* more authoritative.
