Scientists Create First Power Map of Human Brain

Researchers from Columbia University have created the MitoBrainMap, a map of the human brain revealing the density and efficiency of mitochondria throughout. Providing a world first insight into how the brain manages it's energy.

I would buy a mitochondria brain map Koosh Ball. Just saying..

Oh hey! This is my paper! A lovely recap of our work, thank you for sharing it with a wider audience!

"MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL"🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

[TrickCassidy]

So some people are just running in low power. Makes so much sense

[r.alexander]

Time to inject my brain with mitochondria so I can remember what I had for breakfast

[bblinspectors]

This dude is literally nonstop dropping science bangers. I’ve been coming across alot of fake news or ai generated videos that spits out nonsense on this app but this man dont miss

[startea]

That's terrifyingly cool! Those researchers are mad intelligent!

[TheRealDela-lelalt]

“The brain’s mitochondria-“
Don’t you dare…
“-the powerhouse of the-“

The human brain is so complex, it has layers upon layers upon LAYERS of functional fields, some which aren’t even really quantifiable! It’s so cool

[thewoodpeckers]

I just had a thought that is semi unrelated, but they should totally credit the passed away person who supplied the scientists with the organs for studies like this. It’s ultimately a small decision that the person has to make to donate their body to science research, but without the people willing to have their bodies used in this way, we would never be able to discover these things in the first place, and I feel they should be honored for that!

This actually makes a lot of sense and is pretty reasonable to me. Of course the more 'difficult' actions require more energy and the 'newer' parts are simply more efficient, that's (generally) how the rest of the body works and how most of what we build works, it stands to reason that the brain operates similarly

[GermanV-rocket]

Sticking a fork in the power socket to recharge my brain right now.

[DoctorSwagatron]

Too bad microplastics are messing with it all 🥺

List of things your brain has:
CPU
GPU
motherboard kinda
MPU (movment processing)
SPU (sensory processing)
PSU (titanium certified mitochondria)
Case (skull)
Custom liquid cooling loop (blood)
500gb of ddr10 ram
500gb of gddr20 vram
Supports atomic level visual simulation
Supports atomic level resoloution
Runs at 2000 fps even with max render distance on ultra settings and ray tracing, in clouds with weather and other programs running

Open the comments and the only comments are three bot comments shame

[Thewaterspirit]

Instructions unclear: I now have a solar panel attached to my brain

[kaiya]

Even when I'm dead I'll still know the powerhouse of the cell

Shoutout to the individual who donated their brain to science!
