A look at the scientists studying brains and behavior in species found almost nowhere else. Check out our collection of articles on current neuroethology research in Latin America. By @natmesanash ...

Dimensionality reduction has proven powerful for identifying neural manifolds, which are low-dimensional structures underlying high-dimensional neural activity. These low-dimensional representations h...

Many recent studies have found evidence for emergent reasoning capabilities in large language models, but debate persists concerning the robustness of these capabilities, and the extent to which they ...

AI cheating leads to "a failed society," professor says.

Wide-scale recordings reveal neurons in the human brain that encode fundamental components of language such as the grammatical relationships between words, their parts of speech and the higher-order syntactic structure of phrases and sentences.

Large language models (LLMs) can reliably distinguish grammatical from ungrammatical sentences, but how grammatical knowledge is represented within the models remains an open question. We investigate ...

There is a growing body of work on the effects of large language models on the brain, from cognitive offloading, to direct measures of brain activity. While all of this work is interesting, the latter...

A bug bounty module in grants would give criticism a leg up The Soviet Union was good at producing shoes. Factories made 800 million pairs a year, twice as many as Italy, three times as many as the...

The Paris Brain Institute is launching a Call for Junior Group Leaders, inviting outstanding early-career scientists in artificial intelligence, data science, computational neuroscience, and related f...

How are two competing neuroscience journals faring since the editorial board of one departed to create the other?

Aletheia-Probe provides a one-stop shop to help you assess whether journals and conferences are trustworthy or predatory.

If the United States follows through on the threat to invade Greenland, we need to be crystal clear about what happens the next morning.

A main characteristic of biological systems is their capacity to dynamically adapt to environmental changes. In the brain, synaptic plasticity enables the strengthening or weakening of connections bet...

Using quantitative brain imaging, the authors show opposite fMRI BOLD signal to metabolic activity due to variable oxygen extraction across the human cortex. This questions the canonical interpretatio...
