          Discovery Redefines the Architecture of Thought

          New research challenges the long-held belief that the brain makes decisions in a simple, top-down hierarchy. By discovering decision-making signals in the primary somatosensory cortex, researchers have revealed a system of bidirectional feedback loops that could be the key to building the next generation of energy-efficient, truly intelligent AI.

          Primary Cilium Shapes the Developing Brain

          The primary cilium is more than an evolutionary leftover; it is a specialized protein factory. Researchers have discovered that these microscopic "antennas" contain localized machinery to produce proteins, offering a new biological roadmap for understanding, and eventually treating, developmental brain disorders.
