Collaborative hunting, characterized by the division of roles among predators, has emerged within a group of artificial agents through deep reinforcement learning.
The comprehension of acoustic and visual speech depends on modality-specific pathways in the brain, which explains why auditory speech abilities and lip reading are not associated in typical adults.
A neuroanatomical analysis of Rimicaris exoculata provides insights into these animal’s brain architecture to illustrate possible adaptations to the hydrothermal vent habitat with its extreme physicochemical conditions.
Incidental experiences can lead to lasting category knowledge, demonstrating that humans forage for information to acquire and consolidate new knowledge even when learning is not strictly necessary for success on an ongoing task.
New reconstruction methods are used to create a publicly available dense reconstruction of the neurons and chemical synapses of central brain of Drosophila, with analysis of its graph properties.
Structure-function associations in medial temporal lobe reflect specialised, behaviourally-relevant neurocognitive circuits for the perception of faces and places.
Multiple trans-synaptic tracing methods reveal that there is no spatial segregation between flexor and extensor premotor interneurons in the lumbar spinal cord.
