Dendritic computation for abstract rule-based flexible decision-making

Intelligent behavior involves flexible integration of sensory input and abstract rule knowledge. Dendritic computation has been shown to contribute to top-down modulation of sensory processing; however, whether and how it is involved in flexible cognitive processing remains to be...

Induced-Gravity Cosmology: Inflation, Dark Energy, and Dark Matter from a Common Scalar Origin

We construct a scalar-tensor cosmology in pure induced gravity: a real scalar Φ with Z₂ potential V_J(Φ) = (λ₀/4)(Φ² − Φ₀²)² + V_c and coupling ξΦ²R replaces the Einstein–Hilbert term, generating M_Pl via ⟨Φ⟩ = M_Pl/√ξ. Conformal transformation yields a Starobinsky-type slow-roll...
