Brain development dictates energy constraints on neural architecture search: cross-disciplinary insights on optimization strategies [PDF]
Present day artificial neural architecture search (NAS) strategies are essentially prediction-error-optimized. That holds true for AI functions in general. From the developmental neuroscience perspective, I present evidence for the central role of metabolically, rather than prediction-error-optimized neural architecture search (NAS).

How can neuroscience contribute to moral philosophy, psychology and education based on Aristotelian virtue ethics? [PDF]
The present essay discusses the relationship between moral philosophy, psychology and education based on virtue ethics, contemporary neuroscience, and how neuroscientific methods can contribute to studies of moral virtue and character. First, the present

Celsr3 is required for Purkinje cell maturation and regulates cerebellar postsynaptic plasticity
Summary: Atypical cadherin Celsr3 is critical for brain embryonic development, and its role in the postnatal cerebellum remains unknown. Using Celsr3-GFP mice, Celsr3 shows high expression in postnatal Purkinje cells (PCs). Mice with conditional knockout

Developmental Dyscalculia: A Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective [PDF]
Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is considered a brain-based disorder usually caused by dysfunction of the parietal cortex. DD has been researched but the current available means of diagnosing and particularly of treating DD are still not clearly defined. The current review discusses the different suggested neurocognitive markers of DD subtypes and links

Developmental differences in the control of action selection by social information [PDF]
Our everyday actions are often performed in the context of a social interaction. We previously showed that, in adults, selecting an action on the basis of either social or symbolic cues was associated with activations in the fronto-parietal cognitive ...

Explanatory models in neuroscience: Part 2 -- constraint-based intelligibility [PDF]
Computational modeling plays an increasingly important role in neuroscience, highlighting the philosophical question of how computational models explain. In the context of neural network models for neuroscience, concerns have been raised about model intelligibility, and how they relate (if at all) to what is found in the brain. We claim that what makes

Prediction error-driven memory consolidation for continual learning. On the case of adaptive greenhouse models [PDF]
This work presents an adaptive architecture that performs online learning and faces catastrophic forgetting issues by means of episodic memories and prediction-error driven memory consolidation. In line with evidences from the cognitive science and neuroscience, memories are retained depending on their congruency with the prior knowledge stored in the ...

Frontostriatal Maturation Predicts Cognitive Control Failure to Appetitive Cues in Adolescents [PDF]
Adolescent risk-taking is a public health issue that increases the odds of poor lifetime outcomes. One factor thought to influence adolescents' propensity for risk-taking is an enhanced sensitivity to appetitive cues, relative to an immature capacity to ...
