Excited to share a new (& possibly contrarian) preprint !

“ An Algorithmic Barrier to Neural Circuit Understanding "
biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Suggests that non-existence of tractable circuit-interrogation algorithms could be a roadblock to neural circuit understanding

(THREAD) 2/ Classically, Neuroscience at the circuit level (at cellular resolution) has largely been correlational, where one finds neurons whose activity is correlated w/ aspects of stimulus/behavior. We’ve learned a great deal by doing this for over half a century.
