Here, each neuron is represented as spacecrafts, with their pilots in the cockpits depicted in the shape of protein 3D structures. These spacecrafts collectively process and transmit information to the final red neuron to make decisions on space navigation. The wires that connect the neurons, with the green substance inside, indicate the flow of biological […]
Zapping the vagus nerve promotes blood clotting, new research suggests. These findings are the first evidence in humans of a “neural tourniquet,” or a brain-based pathway that could reduce bleeding, said study co-author Dr. Jared Hustona trauma surgeon at the Firestein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health in New York. If a future clinical […]
The ability to flexibly switch our response to external stimuli according to contextual information is critical for successful interactions with a complex world. Context-dependent computations are necessary across many domains1–3yet their neural implementations remain poorly understood. Here we developed a novel behavioral task in rats to study context-dependent selection and accumulation of evidence for decision-making4−6. […]
Artificial intelligence might now be solving advanced math, performing complex reasoning, and even using personal computers, but today’s algorithms could still learn a thing or two from microscopic worms. Liquid AIa startup spun out of MIT, will today reveal several new AI models based on a novel type of “liquid” neural network that has the […]
