Mathematical theory predicts self-organized learning in real neurons
An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they “learn” follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle.
Acid glia in REM sleep: Stronger acid response in epileptic mice
Researchers at Tohoku University have shown that astrocytes – star-shaped glial cells that control the local ionic and metabotropic environment of the brain – exhibit an acid response with REM sleep in mice.
