Ask Hackaday: What Would You Do With the World’s Smallest Microcontroller? - It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues apl... - https://hackaday.com/2025/03/17/ask-hackaday-what-would-you-do-with-the-worlds-smallest-microcontroller/ #microcontrollers #texasinstruments #hackadaycolumns #microcontroller #askhackaday #cortex #arm #bga #mcu

The #cerebral #cortex is the largest part of a mammal’s brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it’s where most things happen—like perception, thinking, memory storage, and decision-making.

Thanks for this @imyke – it made my morning. #cortex

Most studies on #nociceptive pathways focus on links between subcortical regions & #SpinalCord, but what about cortico-cortical circuits? This study reveals a pathway from retrosplenial cortex to anterior cingulate #cortex that modulates #pain perception #plosbiology https://plos.io/4hcS2iB

Can someone please make a run of these, or something a bit more modest, and sell it please?

I have money I want you to take.

It's here, it's here, release day is here, and TorchLite is out in the world! Whew!

So proud of this project and so happy we're here at the finish line. Fly, fly my pretties!

Arl2 regulates asymmetric division in fly neural stem cells via control of #microtubule growth. @HongyanWang9 &co show that, in mammalian #cortex, Arl2 binds to Cdk5rap2 to control microtubule growth, so regulating #corticogenesis #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4dqDo5q

Tonight: gorgeous night for free outdoor music in the city, my favorite kind of music. Old school French funkjazz with Cortex at Damrosch Bandshell. Quite nice.

Extra bonus, this show wasn't on my radar, but my daughter recommended it to me. So proud!

The #Cypher system KS is fulfilling physical rewards. It's the most I've ever backed a KS for. Odds are I'm never going to play it, at least as-is (I'm a #Cortex boy). I was just wowed by the KS campaign's quality and the value of the reward tier. I'm sure I'll find uses for the books.

2024 #TTRPG Resolutions:

2023: Year of Discovery
- Realized what I *didn’t* want to do (program/React JS)
- Realized I *did* enjoy my job as a graphic designer
- Decided to explore and develop my artistic side, not my analytical side
- Took an afternoon class on calligraphy at the local college
- Bought and read a couple books on sketching with ink
- Bought a biography of Thomas Hart Benton and one of Beatrix Potter
- Took a one-night class on watercolor at the Art museum

SUCCESSFUL 2023 #CortexTheme #Cortex

The human #cortex consists of tangentially organized layers with unique properties. @amnsbr @sofievalk &co show that regional variation of laminar thickness profiles in human #isocortex is associated with the cortical #connectome & hierarchical organization #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3QW7WDm

THREE HOURS!?! #Cortex Looking for to it! @imyke

Brain #connectivity: physical links between regions, synchronized activity, or molecular similarities...? @JustineYHansen @misicbata &co integrate seven connectivity blueprints to characterize inter-regional relationships in the human #cortex. #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3LBvQ3I

It's #WorldAlzheimer'sMonth and I got to work with some brilliant people at #UCSF when writing #FindingTheRightWords with #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller. The book has images in black and white but the book website has the images in color. Here's one, created by Caroline Prioleau, that pictures key parts of the #cerebral #cortex. Knowing these words might be helpful when talking to #doctors. #EndAlz
