Receptor Density Shapes Whole-Brain Network Dynamics

Summary: Researchers developed a biologically grounded whole-brain computer model that bridges microscopic molecular chemistry with macroscopic neural activity. The team integrated detailed empirical maps of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor density across…

Shallow Brain Hypothesis: Subcortical Shortcuts Could Revolutionize AI

Summary: Current AI models mimic the brain’s cortex, the “high-level” outer layer, but they almost entirely ignore the ancient, deep structures beneath it. A research team has proposed a new…
