Are bacterial spores some kind of travelling neurons? In this @science.org paper the authors show that B. subtilis spores can integrate environmental signals over time and remember transient nutrient pulses. @koseskalab.bsky.social @drmichaellevin.bsky.social www.kaitokikuchi.com/assets/pdf/K...

It is a proud moment for the lab to see @koch-lab.bsky.social take the next big step in his career! We were truly fortunate to have him in the lab for three years, and we’ll miss him, but we’re even more thrilled to watch this well-deserved achievement unfold!
Seeing your lab name at the door as a new PI for the first time - priceless! 🤩 Excited to join @umanitoba.bsky.social and @stbonifaceresearch.bsky.social as Assistant Professor! 😊

Unlike current AI systems, animals can quickly and flexibly adapt to changing environments.

This is the topic of our new perspective in Nature MI (rdcu.be/eSeif), where we relate dynamical and plasticity mechanisms in the brain to in-context and continual learning in AI. #NeuroAI
What neuroscience can tell AI about learning in continuously changing environments
Nature Machine Intelligence - Durstewitz et al. explore what artificial intelligence can learn from the brain’s ability to adjust quickly to changing environments. By linking neuroscience...

How “intelligent” is a slime mold? When it solves mazes, it might not be thinking:it’s obeying physics. Our new paper with

🚨 Late preprint alert!
Why do biological process rates scale nonlinearly with temperature, deviating from the straight line on an Arrhenius plot? The key may lie in their inherent complexity!
