cyto7: an open, vertex-level cortical type atlas of the human cortex

The cerebral cortex is organized along a gradient of laminar complexity, indexed principally by the emergence and granularity of layer IV and by the size of layer III neuron somata, and cortical types are the ordered categories along it. The Structural Model builds on that gradie...

From “More Is Different” to Algorithmic Emergence: Regularity, Compression, and the Limits of Discovery

Scientific discovery seeks regularities that support explanation and prediction. Compression makes their reuse explicit: shared structure is described once, while parameters specify individual cases. A model can, therefore, pay for itself through repeated use even when its descri...
