Columbia scientists investigating the roots of social wiring in the brain discussed their work at a symposium designed to explore diverse perspectives on this complex topic.
A region in the mouse brain records whether another individual is safe or threatening, a finding that may help researchers understand why some human conditions lead to social withdrawal.
Columbia biologists have developed inexpensive microscopy tools that capture high-level images of brain tissue, previously only possible with more expensive lab equipment.
With some of the world's leading neuroscientists and machine learning researchers, Columbia is seeking lessons from biology that can create AI systems as versatile and efficient as our brains.
