Spatial world models, representations that support flexible reasoning about spatial relations, are central to developing computational models that could operate in the physical world, but their precis...

A large-scale analysis of DNA-bound transcription factors (TFs) shows how the presence of DNA markedly affects the landscape of TF interactions, and identifies composite motifs that are recognized by ...

An analysis of millions of scientific papers and patents reveals a ‘pivot penalty’ when researchers shift direction, with the impact of studies decreasing rapidly the further they move from their prev...

Nature - A study shows that loss of memory precision associated with systems consolidation can be explained by neurogenesis-dependent reorganization of engram circuitry within the hippocampus over...

The visual system has the remarkable ability to integrate fragmentary visual input into a perceptually organized collection of surfaces and objects...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are enhancing our daily lives but also pose risks like spreading misinformation and violating privacy, highlighting the importance of understanding how they process and st...

Growing AI like a Child, at Scale Humans never "learn" intelligence. Humans develop intelligence. Biological lives on this planet take heavy advantage of intelligent primitives embedded in their genes...

Bonobos, one of humanity’s closest relatives, can tell when a human doesn’t know something and steps in to help — a cognitive ability never before identified in nonhuman apes, a study found. Researche...

Abstract. The approximate number system or «sense of number» is a crucial, presymbolic mechanism enabling animals to estimate quantities, which is essentia

Connectomics — a technique that maps physical connections between neural cells — is expensive and inefficient. E11 Bio, a non-profit research group, is designing a tool to expedite progress.

Schemas are structured bodies of prior knowledge that reflect common patterns of information from related experiences. In this Review, Farzanfar et al. discuss evidence for spatial schemas, how they f...

Drivers of the city’s black cabs can teach satellite navigation apps a few things about how to plan the most efficient route, a new study says.

Diffusion Models represent a significant advancement in generative modeling, employing a dual-phase process that first degrades domain-specific information via Gaussian noise and restores it through a...
