Article Abstract
Agents interacting with their environments, machine or otherwise, arrive at decisions based on their incomplete access to data and their particular cognitive architecture, including data sampling frequency and memory storage limitations. In particular, the same data streams, sampled and stored differently, may cause agents to arrive at different conclusions and to take different actions. This phenomenon has a drastic impact on polities-populations of agents predicated on the sharing of information. We show that, even under ideal conditions, polities consisting of epistemic agents with heterogeneous cognitive architectures might not achieve consensus concerning what conclusions to draw from datastreams. Transfer entropy applied to a toy model of a polity is analyzed to showcase this effect when the dynamics of the environment is known. As an illustration where the dynamics is not known, we examine empirical data streams relevant to climate and show the manifest.

Breaking the chains: Toward a neural-level account of episodic memory.
Psychol Rev

Neural Computation Group, Max-Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences.
It has been suggested that episodic memory relies on the well-studied machinery of spatial memory. This influential notion faces hurdles that become evident with dynamically changing spatial scenes and an immobile agent. Here I propose a model of episodic memory that can accommodate such episodes via temporal indexing.

Acting intentionally is a major aspect of human cognitive development and depends on the ability to link actions with their consequences. Action-effect binding (AEB) is a fundamental mechanism enabling this. While AEB has been well-characterized in adults, its neurophysiological underpinnings during adolescence remain unclear.

This study investigates fundamental differences in the acquisition of morphological patterns by humans and large language models (LLMs) within an artificial language learning paradigm. Specifically, it compares how each system responds to variations in input structure-blocked versus interleaved sequences and juxtaposed versus spaced presentation-across verb classification and inflection tasks. While LLMs (GPT4mini, DeepSeek_V3, Llama3.

Article Synopsis
- Nuclear insertions of mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMTs) are dynamic genetic elements that arise from the ancient relationship between mitochondria and host cells, primarily found in areas of the genome linked to regulatory functions.
- Recent research shows that stress-induced mitochondrial damage can trigger the release of mtDNA, leading to NUMT integration, which may be more common in aging tissues and linked to cognitive decline and cancer development.
- The review emphasizes the importance of NUMTs in understanding aging and disease mechanisms, suggesting they could influence mitochondrial-nuclear communication, inflammation, and cellular aging, opening avenues for new biomarkers and treatments.

Achieving a deep understanding of brain mechanisms requires multi-scale perspectives to capture the architecture of complex networks. In this study, we focused on patients with cognitive impairment and constructed individual brain networks from neuroimaging data. We introduced a Significant Edges Selection (SES) method, which effectively extracts the most informative connections while suppressing noise.
