'It is generally better to not endlessly chase perfection, but instead to commit to a good enough partner'

In the real world, things change fast. Stanford researchers invented the "curious replay" training method based on studying mice to help AI agents successfully explore and adapt to changing surroundings.

The breakthrough could revolutionize our grasp of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, but it also raises delicate moral questions

Wu Tsai Neuro faculty scholar Guosong Hong and colleagues have developed the first non-invasive technique for controlling targeted brain circuits in behaving animals from a distance. The tool gives neuroscientists the ability to flexibly test the functions of particular brain cells and circuits deep in the brain during normal behavior — such as in freely socializing mice.

Neurogenesis interferes with past learning in infant and adult mice

The saga of Zhuo-Hua Pan, perhaps the rightful inventor of optogenetics, raises the question of what it means to invent something in science.

Scientists found more than 1,000 gene-activation differences between female and male mice's brains, plus more than 600 between females in different stages of their reproductive cycle.

MIT Professor Xiao Wang's research is focused on developing tools that pinpoint where in a cell different types of messenger RNA are translated into proteins — information that can offer insight into how cells control their fate and what goes wrong in disease.
