Researchers have developed an AI-based approach to help physicians with real-life clinical workups, starting with the patient’s chief complaint, systematically asking questions and deciding what laboratory and imaging tests to order, and then continuing the evaluation on the basis of the answers received.

Los grandes simios se anticipan a la respuesta emocional de otros cuando estos se van a llevar una sorpresa. Para esto deben poder integrar: lo que el otro cree que encontrará, lo que encontrará, y su sorpresa (!)

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

In 1974, paleoanthropologist Don Johanson and student Tom Gray unearthed a 40% complete skeleton of an early human ancestor, fundamentally changing the human family tree. The specimen acquired a nickname that persisted: Lucy, after the Beatles song playing at the fossil hunter’s camp—“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”

At 3.2 million years old, some thought her species, Australopithecus afarensis, was close to when the ancestor of humans had split from the ancestor of chimpanzees. But in the past 50 years, discoveries of hominins both older and the same age as Lucy have pushed that split millions of years deeper in time, and challenged her position as mother of us all.

#JNeurosci: How do birds decipher information from their songs? Ahmadi et al. found that neurons in the primary auditory forebrain of birds synchronously respond to salient sounds from birdsong to comprehend messages from this form of communication.
