 What neuroscience / comp neuro papers would you put on a recommended reading list if you wanted to emphasise the creativity, inspiration and joy of the field? I think some suggestions would overlap with the most famous or epochal papers, but some might be quite different.

Hopfield 1982 and his accompanying historical paper that explains the context: "Now what?". That doesn't exist anymore on his webpage (I've reached out to get that fixed; will email it to you).
