Longitudinal Science – Cross-disciplinary road-mapping and analysis of science and technology topics

Cross-disciplinary road-mapping and analysis of science and technology topics

Just a fun tidbit. In response to my Dwarkesh podcast appearance , which heavily focused on Steve Byrnes’ theories of how human social instincts are shaped by the brain, some people asked about beavers. Patrick Mineault asked “I’m thinking of Justin Beaver (a favorite example of Tony Zador): what would I read off in the pattern of the connections of its hypothalamus that would lead me to conclude that *this* circuit pattern in the hypothalamus both encodes the behavior of constructing dams (even in indoor environments) and rewards the animal to continue to engage in that beha
