Natural language processing: put your model where your mouth is

Molecular mechanisms are often described using “word models”—phrases intended to capture the interactions in a biological process. In their recent work, Sorger and colleagues (Gyori et al, 2017) provide a framework for converting word models into computational structures that can be simulated and compared to experimental data. By codifying word-based descriptions of molecular phenomena, scienti...

How Your Brain Knows Where Your Hand Is

Proprioceptors provide the central nervous system (CNS) with the feedback information required to compute body posture and to regulate muscle activation accurately during ongoing movement. A large amount of proprioceptive information arrives at the CNS from diverse receptors distributed among muscles, tendons and joints, raising the question of how such information is encoded, combined and used...

namic and pulsatile by over 21 mg dl (600 nmol litre) within an hour. Therefore, a point measurement of 8 mg dl alone does not tell one anything about what the cortisol level might be 1 h later. The measurement in this patient may simply be at the nadir of a pulse. There are numerous other gaps in our understanding of the physiology of the HPA axis during critical illness that makes diagnosis o...

Emperor AI, Where Is Your New Mind?

Any theory of the mind must explain how the mind works, and an Al theory is no exception. Many critics have correctly argued that Al researchers have failed to produce such a theory. However, their discussion has focused mainly on what current computer (or particular programs). can or cannot do. Few have examined whether the field itself provides a foundation for producing a theory of the mind....
