*[[Artificial neural network]]s are sometimes used to model the brain of an agent. Although traditionally more of an [[artificial intelligence]] technique, neural nets can be important for simulating [[population dynamics]] of organisms that can ''learn''. The symbiosis between learning and evolution is central to theories about the development of instincts in organisms with higher neurological complexity, as in, for instance, the [[Baldwin effect]]. | *[[Artificial neural network]]s are sometimes used to model the brain of an agent.
