about the painting (if video does not load)
The major components of neocortical networks are excitatory cells, three classes of inhibitory cells, and neuromodulatory inputs that provide context for incoming stimuli.  These components are like individual instruments that combine in flexible ways to create music. The art refers to “Three Musicians” by Pablo Picasso. Credit to Shari E. Ross.
