A Japan Finance Ministry official said on Thursday that G7 and G20 finance leaders do not view the recent AI-driven market sell-off as posing an imminent risk to financial stability. Discussions at this week’s IMF annual meeting in Bangkok were based on the premise that the global economy has shown resilience to external shocks, the official said. Policymakers nonetheless agreed they must remain vigilant and address vulnerabilities that could trigger a systemic crisis.

Researchers led by Xu Ninglong at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (Institute of Neuroscience) report in Science on Oct. 16 that dendritic computation in cortical neurons participates in cognitive processing for flexible decision-making. The study finds distinct intraneuronal functional compartments: apical dendrites encode abstract rules and infer hidden behavioral logic while the soma processes sensory inputs, and their coordinated activity produces decision output. Suppressing dendritic activity markedly weakens neurons’ decision output, supporting dendrites as a core computational substrate for higher-order decisions and providing a theoretical basis for brain-inspired AI system design.
