Synaptic bundle theory for spike-driven sensor-motor system: More than eight independent synaptic bundles collapse reward-STDP learning
Neuronal spikes directly drive muscles and endow animals with agile movements, but applying the spike-based control signals to actuators in artificial sensor-motor systems inevitably causes a collapse of learning. We developed a system that can vary \emph{the number of independent synaptic bundles} in sensor-to-motor connections. This paper demonstrates the following four findings: (i) Learning collapses once the number of motor neurons or the number of independent synaptic bundles exceeds a cr…

Bees are collapsing in the U.S.
A key to their secrets might vanish.
The Bee Lab’s potential closure comes at a tough time for bees.

Droege studies native bees,
the types of pollinators that only live in the wild,
as opposed to honeybees,
which are farmed and bred for profit.
Entomologists stress that honeybees and native bees are different —
sort of like farmed chickens and wild birds.
But they can be exposed to the same threats,

The top federal lab on native bees is set to close under President Trump’s budget.
