Using algebraic topography, researchers have created an algorithm that requires only a few examples to generate a large number of unique cells.
When a neuron receives information, dendrites functionally work together to adjust for the complexity of the input.
Blue Brain Project shows our brains operate on many different dimensions, not just the three we are accustomed to.
Researchers present 'first draft' of Blue Brain Project's digital reconstruction of the neocortex of a juvenile rat.
Researchers show how a complex computer model is providing a new tool to solve the mystery of how interconnected neurons work together to produce brain waves.
Proof of concept: Researchers identify principles to support brain simulation models. Blue Brain Project has identified key principles that determine synapse-scale connectivity by virtually reconstructing a cortical microcircuit and comparing it to a mammalian sample. These principles now make it possible to predict the locations of synapses in the neocortex.
