Research Update ATP prevents harmful aggregation of proteins associated with Parkinson’s and ALS ATP, the ‘fuel’ of our cells, has been found to make the cytosol in axons more liquid, stopping proteins from clustering and causing harm.
Research Update Study shows how retinal cells know when to keep their distance Key molecule behind precise photoreceptor organization identified in fish.
Research Update Foraging footballers suggest how we come together to act as one New study finds football teams move as though they are a single person, offering new insights into collective behavior.
Institutional News OIST Unit Profile: Data scientists working on downloading the brain Prof. Gerald Pao and his team reveal new opportunities by moving away from a classical statistical approach in biological data analysis.
Research Update New, embodied AI reveals how robots and toddlers learn to understand With a brain-inspired architecture, the model offers insights into cognitive development and information processing in neural networks.
