That and Larry Squire's Fundamental https://www.amazon.com/Fundamental-Neuroscience-Fourth-Squir... are the bibles. Don't be intimidated by the size of the books they are actually easy to read.
on “What intelligent machines need to incorporate from the neocortex” ↗Two that I can recommend are Eric Kandel's Principles of Neural Science, and Larry Squire's Fundamental Neuroscience. One of the most amazing things in nature are the pentameric ligand-gated ion channels. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4412168/
on “I should have loved biology” ↗…symptoms and so on), based on misunderstandings (some of your graph readings are horrifically beside the point), or simply wrong. Grab a book on neuropharmacology, or even just a neuroscience intro ("Fundamental Neuroscience" by Squire and colleagues is a good one), and accept that armchair-bullshitting is not how progress is made.
on “Say 'Ahhh': A Simpler Way To Detect Parkinson's” ↗…worthwhile patient cases. Covers basic neurobiology in sufficient detail. My recommendation for this kind of stuff. For molecular and general neurobiology, I recommend the first few chapters of Squire's "Fundamental Neuroscience." Kandel's good as well. If you're looking for something more basic, Carlson's "Physiology of Behavior" is a brilliant and rather entertaining book.
on “How to Get to Genius” ↗…real neurological networks it got to be closer and stronger neurological footing. here is some good material, if you want to dive into neuroscience. "Principles of Neurobiology", Liqun Luo, 2020 and "Fundamental Neuroscience", McGraw Hill. more resources can be found here: http://neuroscience-landscape.com/
on “Darwin Machines” ↗…justice, but here's an attempt. There are a couple of standard neurobiology textbooks, like Kandel, Jessel, and Schwartz's Principles of Neural Science, Purve et al.'s Neuroscience and Squire et al.'s Fundamental Neuroscience. These are huge books that cover a bit of everything, and you should know that they exist, but I wouldn't necessarily start there. If you're specifically interested in computation, I would start with…
on “Backpropagation is a leaky abstraction” ↗…update the post if he, or anyone in his lab, finds something that doesn't check out. > here is some good material, if you want to dive into neuroscience. "Principles of Neurobiology", Liqun Luo, 2020 and "Fundamental Neuroscience", McGraw Hill. Why these two textbooks? I got my B.S. in neuroscience so I feel good about the foundations. Happy to check these out if you believe they add something that many other textbooks are missing.
