well, my parents grew up in the Canadian bush. My dad had up to 7th grade available and my mum had 9th grade. So neither high school nor college. The were autodidacts and had books when possible. twitter.com/kayteeflick/st…

Precisely not. I was merely responding to a claim about bird cortex. twitter.com/guyi/status/12…

I was merely saying that birds have something analogous to cortex (a recent discovery) and some species such as ravens and crows are super smart. I suspect birds are indeed conscious. I added that thalamus seems important as well. Much remains to be explained. twitter.com/DelmoreTyler/s…

If it is the standard, then Goff cannot eat anything since he thinks everything is conscious, event potatoes twitter.com/guyi/status/12…

There is a lot of evidence implicating the thalamus (esp the central thalamus) and likely brain stem structures such as the locus coeruleus. But birds do have something analogous to the c. cortex at the micro level, it just doesnt have 6+lamina. Still, yum! twitter.com/SquashedBox/st…

Do place cells with fields near a wall in one environment tend to have fields near a wall in another environment? Also, what makes environments sufficiently different for total remapping?
