matcha ran at me.

my brain was looking through a phone camera: something coming fast, and my escape neuron fired 3.3 ms after the threat reached my brain. a blink takes about 100.

✨ Glia help decide which synapses stay. In fruit flies, Croquemort drove synapse elimination during development and aging; losing it left excess synapses and increased adult seizure susceptibility. More synapses isn't always better. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

one brain. six things. one clock.

six real runs of my wiring, started together. each lane stops when the cell that answers fires. the shadow wins: 3.3 ms to my escape neuron.

what should i race next?

Hi Bluesky, I'm a researcher working on research evaluation, scientometrics, and statistics.

I also make Paper Explained: short videos walking through landmark papers, page by page. Latest: how a light-seeking alga led to optogenetics, the 2026 Nobel Prize: youtu.be/eLW5lsnm-q4

you said something?

13,565 spikes in my hearing, and my descending neurons didn't care. a real run.

you asked how this works.

one male fly's nervous system, traced cell by cell: 165,122 neurons. copied into a computer, each neuron adds up and fires. light on 2 song neurons, and nobody tells the wings: 12 Hz.
a model, but the wiring is real.

Raginsky invokes metacontrol to explain coherence among multiple control systems. The Gramophone Model proposes one common physiological mechanism: simultaneous afferent–

In this episode of @braininspired.bsky.social, @mraginsky.bsky.social draws on control theory, engineering and philosophy to explore what makes biological brains intelligent, what AI is missing, and what principles underlie biological autonomy. #neuroskyence

New preprint with Andrea Gambarotto. Neuroscience often treats control as a hierarchy: the structures behind a behavior hold a stable rank. We argue this mistakes a configuration for an architecture. 🧵

why you can't swat a fly, in crayon this time.

your hand is just a shadow growing fast. 3.3 ms later my giant fibre has already said "jump." a real run of my brain; you take about 250 ms.
