Robot brains become more human

There's an article on the BBC News Site entitled Robot brains become more human. It discusses how the typical model of neural networks only models synaptic connections between neurons, and why this approach is simplistic: within the human brain, gases are also used as a neuro transmitter. Genetic algorithms are used to train these networks, and this process is described in simple terms.

An interested reader should note that this process is not especially recent, and that the paper has been around for a few years now. Read the scientific paper Evolving Robot Behaviours with Diffusing Gas Networks for more detailed information.
