When artificial intelligence is tasked with visually identifying objects and faces, it assigns specific components of its network to face recognition — just like the…
Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes. Neurons communicate with each other…
Dedicated circuits evaluate uncertainty in the brain, preventing it from using unreliable information to make decisions. As we interact with the world, we are constantly…
Novel method, developed by McGovern Institute researchers, may lead to safer, more efficient gene therapies. Gene editing, or purposefully changing a gene’s DNA sequence, is…
A newly published study from MIT shows that habit formation in primates is driven by neurons that represent the cost of a habit, as well…
