Mashup Score: 37Evolution of Brains and Computers: The Roads Not Taken - 5 day(s) ago
When computers started to become a dominant part of technology around the 1950s, fundamental questions about reliable designs and robustness were of great relevance. Their development gave rise to the exploration of new questions, such as what made brains reliable (since neurons can die) and how computers could get inspiration from neural systems. In parallel, the first artificial neural networks came to life. Since then, the comparative view between brains and computers has been developed in new, sometimes unexpected directions. With the rise of deep learning and the development of connectomics, an evolutionary look at how both hardware and neural complexity have evolved or designed is required. In this paper, we argue that important similarities have resulted both from convergent evolution (the inevitable outcome of architectural constraints) and inspiration of hardware and software principles guided by toy pictures of neurobiology. Moreover, dissimilarities and gaps originate from t

Mashup Score: 25
We feel that we perceive events in the environment as they unfold in real-time. However, this intuitive view of perception is impossible to implement in the nervous system due to biological constraints such as neural transmission delays. I propose a new way of thinking about real-time perception: at any given moment, instead of representing a single timepoint, perceptual mechanisms represent an entire timeline. On this timeline, predictive mechanisms predict ahead to compensate for delays in incoming sensory input, and reconstruction mechanisms retroactively revise perception when those predictions do not come true.

Mashup Score: 25Systematic analysis of variants escaping nonsense-mediated decay uncovers candidate Mendelian diseases - 7 day(s) ago
Protein-truncating variants escaping nonsense-mediated decay (PTVescs) are often overlooked in genetic disease. We examined individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders referred for clinical exome sequencing for gene-level enrichment of de novo PTVesc and phenotypic similarity analysis. This analysis identified PTVesc as a mutation spectrum in established and candidate Mendelian disease-gene associations.
