The race to crack one of biology’s grandest challenges — predicting the 3D structures of proteins from their amino-acid sequences — is intensifying, thanks to new artificial-intelligence (AI) approaches. Machine learning predicts the look of stem cells. At the core of AlQuraishi’s system is a neural network, a type of algorithm inspired by the brain’s… Continuar lendo AI protein-folding algorithms solve structures faster than ever: Deep learning makes its mark on protein-structure prediction.
Oxytocin (OT) plays a pivotal role in interpersonal bonding, affiliation, and trust, and its intranasal administration is increasingly considered as a potential treatment for autism spectrum disorder. The identified associations between the oxytocinergic system, expressions of secure attachment, and amygdala–hippocampal pathways are anticipated to be of relevance for understanding the role of OT in modulating… Continuar lendo Amygdala–Hippocampal Connectivity Is Associated With Endogenous Levels of Oxytocin and Can Be Altered by Exogenously Administered Oxytocin in Adults With Autism.
When faced with a personal problem people typically give better advice to others than to themselves. A previous study showed how it is possible to enact internal dialogue in virtual reality (VR) through participants alternately occupying two different virtual bodies – one representing themselves and the other Sigmund Freud. They could maintain a self-conversation by… Continuar lendo An experimental study of a virtual reality counselling paradigm using embodied self-dialogue.
