Ramsey Wilcox. Image courtesy of the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory, University of Notre Dame How the brain’s global organization, not any single region, gives rise to the mind’s remarkable unity Editor’s Note For much of modern neuroscience, the search for intelligence resembled a cartographic exercise. Researchers mapped the brain as though its most complex abilities might […]

AlphaGenome How Google DeepMind’s AI is unlocking the 98% of our genome science couldn’t read Editor’s Note For decades, the human genome has been described as the ultimate biological blueprint, yet large sections of it, the so-called “non-coding” regions, remained a silent language we could not translate. We understood the individual letters, but the complex
