We learn how to get organised, step away from distractions and become more productive

New research from MIT automates the math for trading off risk and reward, in domains ranging from artificial intelligence to climate to finance, fixing errors made by deep learning systems.

“A productive way forward may be to fundamentally rethink what a mind is and how a brain works,” the researchers write. “A productive way forward may be to fundamentally rethink what a mind is and how a brain works,” the researchers write.

MIT researchers report that thalamic inputs into superficial layers of the cortex are not only rare, but also surprisingly weak, and quite diverse in their distribution patterns. Despite this, they are reliable and efficient representatives of information in the aggregate, and their diversity is what underlies these advantages.

Artificial intelligence algorithms are the wave of the future.

Researchers have identified how two different populations of neurons in the striatum are affected differently in Huntington's disease. The neurodegeneration of one of these populations leads to motor defects while damage to the other population located in striosomes may account for mood disorders associated with the early stages of Huntington's.

MIT neuroscientists find two distinct cell populations in the striatum are affected differently by Huntington’s disease. They believe neurodegeneration of one of these populations leads to motor impairments, while damage to the other population, located in a structure called the striosome, may account for the mood disorders that are often see in the early stages of the disease.

Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntingtons disease, are among the most severely affected
