Summary
According to a post on X by @mldcmu, CMU's Machine Learning Department shared Aran Nayebi's second NeuroAgent, which extends a virtual-animal approach to reverse-engineer how Drosophila decide what to do next. The post says the team finds flies act to maximize state-space coverage across the population, a curiosity-like principle, rather than as individuals. The snippet does not give further numbers, dates or experimental details. The post was surfaced through the Scobleizer News Pulse feed on X.

Why it matters
For researchers in computational neuroscience and AI, the work offers a model-based way to test how simple animal brains might choose actions. If the population-level, curiosity-like principle holds up, it could shape how exploration is designed in agent systems. Readers should look for the full paper or technical details to judge the claim's scope.
