This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of ...

Computational neuroscientists taught an artificial neural network to imitate a biological neuron. The result offers a new way to think about the complexity of single brain cells. Our mushy brains seem ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. A few centuries ago, the swirling polychromatic chaos of Jupiter’s atmosphere spawned the immense vortex that we call the Great Red Spot ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...

Have you ever found yourself staring at a tangled web of formulas in Excel, wondering if there’s a better way to make sense of it all? You’re not alone. Whether you’re managing large datasets, ...

A new suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. In 1950 the Italian physicist Enrico ...
