Nature Index 2024 Neuroscience
Benefitting from advanced imaging and modelling techniques and genetic tools that enable targeted research, neuroscience has undergone remarkable progress in recent decades. But fundamental questions about how cognitive function emerges from patterns of brain activity remain unsolved, which limits treatment options for neurological conditions. As large-scale neuroscience initiatives in some countries wind down, enthusiasm for cutting-edge implantable devices is ramping up, and time will tell if the United States' lead in this area can be challenged.
The impact of artificial intelligence research
What is your strategy for AI research? How can you identify all future collaborators and funders? It’s more important than ever to understand how your peers are using AI, and how AI can help you to get ahead.
