In mice, ~30% of neurons are silent [1]. Neuralink team is finding that most are silent, where they probe [2]: > Also, most of them are silent. They don’t really do much. Or their activities are… You have to hit it with just the right set of stimulus. > ... When you place these electrodes, again, within this hundred micron volume, you have 40 or so neurons.
