Scientists from Stanford University managed to create a digital copy of the mouse brain using artificial intelligence. The study is considered a revolutionary step in understanding the functioning of the brain.
Stanford’s brain research team took advantage of artificial intelligence technologies to model the brain’s electrical activity and neural networks in detail. In the study published in Nature magazine, this ‘digital twin’ mice were trained with neural activities recorded while watching the film clips.
The brain’s digital twin follows neural activity and communication between neurons with high resolution, allowing scientists to better analyze the complex structure of the brain.
This study shows how much integration of artificial intelligence technologies into biological systems, as well as more information about the functioning of the brain. The model was trained by watching action films such as ‘Mad Max’.
The low -resolution ability of mice is suitable for detecting moving scenes. Trained with a 900 -minute brain activity data, the model can be customized for each mouse.
Digital twin has also revealed the connection preferences of neurons. Neurons prefer to connect with neurons reacting to the same visual warning. Researchers aim to apply the model to other brain regions and primates.
