Autism Spectrum Disorders: Definition and top 150+ rare diseases related to them.
This time we focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders and highlight the top 150 rare diseases related to them as part of our commitment to improving the diagnostic odyssey for those affected by rare diseases .
Cerebral organoids at the air–liquid interface generate diverse nerve tracts with functional output
A modified brain-organoid culture generates extensive axon outgrowth with specific tract-like patterns. Organoid tracts connect neurons across distant sites and can innervate and stimulate co-cultured mouse spinal cord tissue to elicit muscle...
DeepMind and Google: the battle to control artificial intelligence
Demis Hassabis founded a company to build the world’s most powerful AI. Then Google bought him out. Hal Hodson asks who is in charge
Scientists grow ‘mini-brain on the move’ that can contract muscle | Neuroscience | The Guardian
Cambridge researchers grew ‘organoid’ that spontaneously connected to spinal cord

A whole-brain atlas of monosynaptic input targeting four different cell types in the medial prefrontal cortex of the mouse
The connectivity of a cortical region is instrumental to its function. The authors generated brain-wide maps of the afferent input to four distinct cell types in the mPFC to reveal the structural architecture that underlies the mPFC’s functions.

Altered neuronal migratory trajectories in human cerebral organoids derived from individuals with neuronal heterotopia
iPSC-derived brain organoids from patients with neurodevelopmental disease reveal dysfunction in neural progenitors underlying impaired migration of developing neurons in periventricular heterotopia.
Equivalence of Equilibrium Propagation and Recurrent Backpropagation
Equivalence of Equilibrium Propagation and Recurrent Backpropagation
Equivalence of Equilibrium Propagation and Recurrent Backpropagation
Recurrent Backpropagation and Equilibrium Propagation are supervised learning
algorithms for fixed point recurrent neural networks which differ in their
second phase. In the first phase, both algorithms converge to a fixed point
which corresponds to...
