Institute for Advanced Study scholars and collaborators have
created the first mathematical model to predict how a cancer
patient will respond to immunotherapy, according to a study
published in Nature.
Abstract: Ensembles of randomly wired
networks, constrained by biology (cell types, Dale’s law,
geometry), can rival far more detailed models in matching
statistics of neural population dynamics, thus revealing the
“typical” behavior of high...
Dr. Emmanouil Alexis from the Department of Chemical and
Biological Engineering, Princeton University, will present his work
at an informal seminar on synthetic biomolecular signal
differentiators.
Abstract: In many experimental situations, large populations of
simultaneously recorded neurons (up to 1 million) have been found
to exhibit ‘low-dimensional’ dynamics, in the sense that the
population dynamics can be effectively described by a...
What are the chief causes of forgetting? Several causes are well
established and accepted: For short-term memory, limited capacity
is a cause of forgetting. There are reasons to believe long-term
memory does not suffer from a similar capacity...
