What do fruit-fly brains have in common with microchips? That's not the setup for a bad joke; it's David Adler's life. Under Adler's ultrasophisticated electron beam microscopes, advanced microprocessors with transistors far smaller than red blood cells have been reduced to their wiring diagrams. Now the noggin of the humble Drosophila melanogaster is next, as Adler is being courted by researchers at a neurobiology wing of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to help them reverse engineer the…

Neurotranslations: Interpreting the Human Brain’s Attention System
Our ability to think, create, innovate, and communicate—to survive and thrive—depends on the brain’s attention system: from the reticular activation system that triggers the fight-or-flight response…
Spiking Neural Network Modelling Approach Reveals How Mindfulness Training Rewires the Brain
TLDR
A recently developed brain-inspired Spiking Neural Network model is applied to electroencephalography (EEG) data to provide novel insight into brain function in depression and the effect of MT on depressed and non-depressed individuals and neurobiological characteristics of depressed individuals who respond to mindfulness.
