Mapping the Brain

Показать описание

A map of the entire human brain could help us understand where diseases come from, to how we store memories. But mapping the brain with today’s technology would take billions of dollars and hundreds of years. Learn what GR has already revealed about the brain, and how it's making it easier for scientists to—someday—reach this goal.

Gf: “would you love me if I had 302 neurons?”

Considering almost all of our problems come from our brains, building enough of a picture of it, to then assist with fixing it, seems like an extremely important endeavour.

Fascinating! Imagine after mapping human brain neurons, like we did for the human genome, we could design a new artificial neural network architecture, way better than a transformer. Then, today's LLMs would seem like a dial-up modem for the internet!

Ow, my neurons!

Seriously though, this is actually overwhelming. I've been immersed in machine learning and LLMs lately, and from that current perspective I can see how fast this research could ramp up. The visualization algorithms are beautiful, and I can barely imagine the advantages that come from applying machine learning and influence. You're really creating an AI modality all it's own.

I had 185 Electric SHOCK Treatments and didn't know the damage that was done to the neurons in the brain right away. It took years to learn to do things in different ways
But the brain is amazing!! & resilient!! I am coming 77 and have learned a new set of communicating skills. We have only scratched the surface of what the regenerating power of the mind is. All the Best Researchers your in an exciting Field of research!!
All the Best JS

3:39 the excitement of a kid and years of experience that made him explain like even a layman could understand.... Beautiful ❤️

Netflix needs to pick this up and make an entire series out of it.

The development of the brain is fascinating. My interest more closely latches on to how this affects learning of languages.

There is a fad for tesching "natural learning", as a toddler learns to speak. I accept thas this often can work; but a human's brain maturation undergoes several bouts of 'rewiring' by the time an individual reaches, say, 25 y.o.

It defies common sense that a mature brain learn in the same way as one taking its first intellectual footsteps; and yet, that typically is how language is taught.

Kudos to you guys for actually helping humanity progress. No kidding. SALUTE...

Human brain: the real wonder of the Universe. Wow!

Obviously the content itself and the research these guys are doing is amazing, but the quality of the motion graphics and editing of this video was spectacular

3:53 The fact that the brain being mapped here is of a fruit fly is mind boggling; the structure and complexity that forms such a dumb little fly puts so many things into perspective. What a beautiful visualization of this research.
