The brain is often thought of as a data processing machine that integrates signals through siloed sets of neurons specialized for orientation, the direction of movement, spatiotemporal frequencies, etc. See article by @ScienceMagazine#brain#computation https://t.co/V4kssvmpFk
Transitioning from keeping the focus on an object to grabbing such an object is another example of how the brain integrates information coming from different types of neurons. See article by @NaturePortfolio#neurons#coordination https://t.co/6cOINCYcrl
While the main focus of genetic engineering has been to increase the production capacities of fruit and vegetables, it is about time that tastiness takes the center stage! See article by @PNASNews#fruit#flavor#genetics#chemistry
