Ctenophore research points to earlier origins of brain-like structures (03.03.2026)

New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The findings suggest that an elementary brain may have already appeared in our most ancient relatives, reshaping our understanding of nervous system evolution in animals.

Can AI models be trusted to predict heavy rainfall? (02.03.2026)

Robin Guillaume-Castel was one of the first researchers to arrive at UiB as part of the LEAD AI programme. One year in, his project shows promising results on explaining how neural networks work to predict extreme weather events like heavy rainfall.
