4+ day, 3+ hour ago  (474+ words) Simple math suggests that small groups of scientists can significantly bias peer review. Despite the massive rise in preprints over the past few years, peer review at journals is still widely held as the gold standard for assessing the validity…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago  (253+ words) Neuroscience is chasing the complexity of social behavior, yet we have not answered the simplest question in the chain: How does a brain know "who is who? Emerging multi-agent artificial intelligence may help accelerate our understanding of this fundamental computation....

1+ mon, 3+ week ago  (661+ words) The lesion network mapping method, used to identify disease-specific brain networks for clinical stimulation, produces a nearly identical network map for any given condition, according to a new study. More than 200 published studies and at least seven ongoing clinical trials…...

2+ mon, 4+ week ago  (801+ words) Generative artificial intelligence will offer a new way to see, simulate and hypothesize about how animals experience their worlds. In doing so, it could help bridge the long-standing gap between neural function and behavior. Seeing the world as animals do:…...

4+ mon, 2+ day ago  (527+ words) Eight researchers explain how they are using large language models to analyze the literature, brainstorm hypotheses and interact with complex datasets. Responses have been lightly edited for length and clarity. The model effectively learns the rules of neuroanatomy from the…...
