Commentary: Citation graphs may underestimate neuroscience’s influence on AI
An alternative, albeit less quantitative, way to trace this history is through the people who carried ideas between the fields.

Commentary: The rising absolute number of neuro-inspired AI papers represents a substantial footprint
Many of the design choices present in the current generation of artificial-intelligence tools parallel purported properties of the brain.

Examining the bridge between neuroscience and AI
A citation analysis reveals that the connection between the two fields is real and gaining momentum. But it’s also narrow and tool-heavy; we need to find ways to widen it.

Highly cited autism paper earns expression of concern over data duplications
The notice, published in Nature last week, also addressed an image duplication identified by a prominent research-integrity sleuth.

Scientific talent is global. Access to the world’s scientific stage is not.
Neuroscience in Chile, and across Latin America, does not lack talent or ideas, but the systems that make science visible—prestigious journals, conferences and networks—increasingly price its researchers out.

O talento científico é global. O acesso ao cenário científico mundial, não.
A neurociência no Chile e em toda a América Latina não enfrenta falta de talento nem de ideias, mas os sistemas que dão visibilidade à ciência—periódicos de prestígio, conferências e redes—estão cada vez mais fora do alcance financeiro dos pesquisadores.

El talento científico es global. El acceso al escenario científico mundial, no.
La neurociencia en Chile y a través de Latinoamérica no carece de talento ni ideas, pero los sistemas que hacen la ciencia visible —revistas, conferencias y redes prestigiosas— dejan cada vez más a sus investigadores fuera debido a los costos.

Neuropathologist not guilty of research misconduct, says university probe
The investigation determined that seven papers by corresponding author Adriano Aguzzi have “scientifically significant” errors, which Aguzzi attributes to his former students.

Scientists decry conference’s use of hidden prompts to snare AI peer reviews
The invisible messages, which instruct large language models to use telltale phrases in a peer-review report, are effective in catching artificial-intelligence misuse but also erode trust, some say.

Exclusive: Neuroscience journal editor resigns over automation concerns
The editor resigned after the publisher’s artificial-intelligence system overrode his selection of referees for a manuscript. His move prompted an internal review of the system.

Remembering Barbara Finlay, ‘maverick’ of evolutionary neuroscience
Finlay, who died on 12 September, championed the idea that developmental constraints dictate how evolution sculpts brains, a concept she used to model the timing of hundreds of events and align them across mammalian species.

Crows have brains ‘in the fast lane’
The birds accurately complete decision-making tasks twice as fast as primates, although their endbrains look considerably different.
