Imagine yelling while trying to listen. That’s kind of what electric fish do when they scan their environs by emitting and detecting electric fields at the same time. Krista Perks, Salomon Muller, Nate Sawtell & team have discovered the mental circuitry that makes this feat possible, work that could help design AIs that learn better. @Nature

Which computer models of the brain best capture what an actual brain does? @KriegeskorteLab and colleagues are answering this question by forcing AIs to disagree with each other, using bespoke images. Explore this unusual and promising strategy in @NatureNeuro.

.@ZuckermanBrain scientists have upended decades of neuroscience debate. Their new research shows that while specialist neurons do exist, most neurons are actually generalists, capable of supporting a wide range of functions.

Where does curiosity come from? Neuroscientist Jennifer Bussell wants to know. She has discovered that mice, like us, seek out information that offers no external benefit. Her new research in @NatureNeuro with colleagues links this desire for knowledge to certain cells in the brain's orbitofrontal cortex.
