People who excel at tennis often find it easy to pick up other ball sports, but the neural processes behind this ability have long remained a mystery. Recently, a research team has, for the first time, identified a distinct neural organizational pattern in the brains of primates. Using macaques as their subjects, the study revealed that these animals can extract abstract patterns from one task and apply them to another, with their brains forming two separate, independent representation spaces. This breakthrough offers deeper insights into the learning mechanisms within the primate brain and opens up fresh avenues for developing next-generation artificial intelligence systems. The relevant findings have been published in Nature Communications.
