Brain cells, also known as neurons, are complex, specialized cells with long branches. To grow, neurons build proteins at specific locations of a branch so that they can form new protrusions, control the direction they move in and establish connections with other neurons. This process is...
The Self-Assembling Brain:How Neural Networks Grow Smarter Peter Robin Hiesinger 2021 Princeton University Press 第一次阅读20250513 引言 神经生物学信息的视角 算法信息的视角 一些人工生命研究者认为人工智能是其一个子领域。而许多人工智能研究者并不太在意人工生命。并且他们两者都不太在意发育神经生物学。
You see this pattern with startup founders too. You don’t want to start a startup to do something that everyone agrees is a good idea, or there will already be other companies doing it. You have to do something that sounds to most other people like a bad idea, but that you know i...
Major long-range signaling pathways made up of white matter begin to form several months into gestation and establish themselves by birth. The first years: Brain volume doubles in the first year of life as connections between neurons grow and other developmental processes unfold—including myelination...
LinkedIn Groups are one of the easiest ways to meet people who care about the same things you do. Everyone in the group is there for a reason, whether it’s to grow in their role, find new tools or stay updated. Let’s say you manage social media for a SaaS brand. You could join...
Over time, these connections can grow stronger or weaker depending on the neurons’ patterns of activation. Changes in structure and function take place at the level of the synapses between neurons. This capacity for change is called synaptic plasticity and it is essential to the brain’s ...
Your outline isn’t set in stone—it should grow with your understanding of the topic. As you write, keep revisiting it. You might: Reorder sections for better flow Add new insights or supporting points Trim or tighten areas that feel cluttered ...
And then the mood changed. I don’t know when it happened. I don’t know why. But it spread from person to person in an instant, sparking between the bodies like a thought dancing between the neurons of a mind. One moment the surge was good tempered, and the next it was sinister....
Deep Inside the Brain: Neuroscientists Discover the Missing Piece of the Brain’s Multitasking Network Scientists Uncover Brain Mechanism That May Explain Why Sleep Helps You Learn Adult-Born Neurons Grow More Than Their Counterparts From Infancy – May Even Have Unique Functions Feeling Disconnected?
True stories of indefatigable researchers, heroic engineers, and champions of, neuroscience who are finally turning the corner in the effort to understand, heal, and improve the human brain.
