That's all!

More bangers from Judge Young in the thread below. And check out my story for the full low-down on what happened yesterday — and what led up to this moment.

in any case, what result/outcome would proof that dendrites have credit signals combining such a behavior and dendritic activation?

Lets suppose you have an animal that has learned association A, needs to learn association B and then go back to A. overactivating the dendrites might speed up the transition from A to B but maybe at cost of „overwriting“ part of the „dendritic representation“ of A due to too much plasticity.

Maybe I am wrong but this recent study of ours might indicate that both interneurons and dendrites might play a role (with a certain regulatory interdependence) in concepts like the ones you are discussing here.

Tuft dendrites in frontal motor cortex enable flexible learning
Flexible learning relies on integrating sensory and contextual information to adjust behavioral output in different environments. The anterolateral motor cortex (ALM) is a frontal area critical for ac...

The book sounds very exciting! Is there going to be an audiobook version of it? :)
