Fortunately, we are not the first to ask these questions, since researchers have already defined some helpful notions. Firstly, authors have acknowledged that agents are entities within an environment, and that they can sense and act (not necessarily in that order). This means that agents are not isolated entities, and that they are able to communicate and collaborate with other entities. Simpl...

The neuroligin (NL) gene family has been well characterized in neurons by virtue of its role as a synaptic cell adhesion molecule, and because mutations in the gene have been associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However much less is known about its role in the glial cell population, where one of the subtypes, neuroligin 3, is expressed. The work presented here investigates NL's role ...
