The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Dynamical systems show the flexibility of neural connectivity
Dynamic neural connectivity in C. elegans shows quick habituation, shifts in interneuron connectivity without obvious changes in activity, continuous neural activity underlying discrete behavioral states, and individuality that may translate to more complex brains.
Comparative analysis of smart city scientific research trends in the USA and China
Our study, published in Nature Cities, compares U.S. and China smart city research trends using funded proposals and LLM-based analysis. Findings reveal shared priorities in sustainability and equity, but also national divides, highlighting the need for global collaboration.
