Human brain cells put much more energy into signaling
Signaling molecules help modulate the brain's overall activity. Enlarge (credit: Westend61) Indian elephants have larger brains than we do (obviously). Mice have a higher brain-to-body mass ratio, and long-finned pilot w.....»»
Can we decode the language of our primate cousins?
A UNIGE team shows that the human brain is capable of identifying the vocalizations of certain primate species, if they are close to us and if the frequencies used are also close to our own......»»

Can artificial intelligence improve life science? As much as life science can improve AI, researchers say
Artificial intelligence (AI) may attempt to mimic the human brain, but it has yet to fully grasp the complexity of what it means to be human. While it may not truly understand feelings or original creativity, it can help us better understand ourselve.....»»
