Our work elaborating on, simplifying, and extending earlier formulations of the dynamics of calcium-based plasticity has been published in JOCN. Bottom line is 'calcium tells the synaptic weight where it's going and how fast it gets there.' Link in comment.

The biggest problem in neuroscience is that we're analyzing a complex recurrent system where we only have access to partial information. The best way to advance neuroscience is to improve methods to the point where we have in vivo simultaneous whole brain recording at single.

Clearly the currect ruling IMHO, any reasonable interpretation of fair use combined with a proper understanding of how LLMs work should lead to this.

I wonder if AI will/already has obviated the need for scientific review articles. Now if I want to learn about, say, the history of autism diagnosis, I can just ask GPT to write me a summary of the history of autism diagnosis. And I can ask follow-ups. So why would I bother.

<Noun> is more <adjective> than previously thought!.

A lesser-appreciated limitation of LLM AIs is that they have fixed personalities. GPT can pretend to be a pirate, but it is not a pirate AI, it is a guy-who-read-the-whole-internet AI acting like a pirate.
