This mashup of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and even linguistics and philosophy of mind aims to crack the deep question of what ‘understanding’ is, however un-brain-like its models may be.
Scientists harnessed a new method to precisely measure the amount of information the brain can store, and it could help advance our understanding of learning.
Senescent cells, often described as zombie-like, are ones that have stopped dividing but are still alive.
Research led by the lab of Nancy M. Bonini of the School of Arts & Sciences have uncovered new details about the role of zombie-like cells in brain aging, using the fruit fly as a model.
