• Computational Brain Model Matches Animal Experiments in Learning Task

    Source: Google News - HealthA new computational model of the brain has not only learned a visual category learning task as well as lab animals, but even enabled the discovery of counterintuitive activity by a group of neurons that researchers working with animals to perform the same task had not noticed before, reports a team of scientists in the journal Nature Communications. Notably, the model produced these achievements without ever being trained on data from animal...
  • In 2025, Earth Pushed Past the Key Climate Change Mark of 1.5C Degrees

    Source: CBS News - ScienceA heavy reliance on fossil fuels has now pushed earth beyond the three-year temperature average set in the 2015 Paris Agreement of limiting warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius since preindustrial times. Experts have said for more than a decade that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees could prevent catastrophic environmental destruction around the globe. Extreme weather events already kill thousands of people annually and are projected to...
