It seems to me that there could be a subcategory of [Science](https://discourse.numenta.org/c/science/44) for which the description could be something like:

> Discussions about how HTM implementations can be used for computational neuroscience1,2 modelling of neurons and their interactions in cortical networks.

(Not for Applications or Machine Learning uses or Tangential Theories - pinned “About this category” post could clarify this?)

Suggestions for improvements to title/description welcome.
