"Tony and I [Lynn Borton] explore the charms of curiosity as a research motivator, what distinguishes curiosity-driven research from all the rest, federal investments in science — recent disruptions thereto and the gutting of American research, the “curse of knowledge”, showcasing practical applications, debate in the lab, and what’s to love about Gila monster venom and Yellowstone’s thermal pools."

Today’s AI can talk the talk, but it literally can’t walk the walk. This week At the Lab, CSHL Professors Anthony Zador and Alexei Koulakov discuss the biological brain’s multibillion-year evolutionary advantage over artificial intelligence—and the new AI they built based on that very concept.

BRAIN CONNECTS is a new program launched by the National Institutes of Health. It aims to support the development of research tools needed to gather, analyze, and share data on neural cells and circuits. The ultimate goal is to generate wiring diagrams that span the brain and are accessible to the entire scientific community.
