Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a popular paradigm for modeling animal behavior, analyzing neuronal representations, and studying their emergence during learning. This development has been fueled by advances in understanding the role of RL in both the brain and artificial intelligence. However, while in machine learning a set of tools and standardized benchmarks facilitate the […]
Imagine a city with multiple neighborhoods connected by highways and streets. As we grow older, the roads in our brain, called white matter fiber tracts, can become less efficient and interconnected. In this study, scientists used advanced imaging techniques to investigate how these changes in the aging brain affect our ability to perceive global motion. […]
Imagine a raging river, powerful and unforgiving. But what if you had two mighty warriors working together to tame it? That’s the story of PCSK9 inhibition and statin therapy teaming up to battle intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), a common cause of stroke worldwide. In this study, researchers investigated the effects of combining PCSK9 inhibition with […]
