A series of compounds were synthesized and demonstrated to form a specific covalent bond with His64 of CAIX, an anticancer target, a strategy applicable to any drug design project.
Local disinhibition provides a biologically plausible mechanism for flexible top-down control of network states that integrates normalized value coding, winner-take-all choice, and persistent activity in a single circuit of decision-making.
A parametrization-invariant synaptic plasticity rule based on natural-gradient descent leads to multiple predictions for the biological plasticity process, some of which relate to well-studied phenomena such as heterosynaptic plasticity.
The fruit fly estimates visual motion by incorporating ON-OFF asymmetric processing that only improves performance when stimuli have light-dark asymmetries matched to natural scenes.
