Blue Brain Project supercomputer recreates portion of rodent’s brain with 30000 neurons connected by 40m synapses to exhibit patterns of behaviour triggered,for example, when whiskers are touchedA piece of living brain has been reconstructed in a supercomputer in what amounts to one of the most sophisticated neural simulations ever created.
The digital lum
p of rat brain, or made from ones and zeroes,mimics the behaviour of about 30000 neurons connected to one another by 40m synapses.
