Building a brain, cell by cell: Researchers make a mini neuron network (of two)
The human brain is an exquisitely complex, organic CPU, made of trillions of connections between many billions of neurons.
The human brain is an exquisitely complex, organic CPU, made of trillions of connections between many billions of neurons. Understanding such a complicated organ is a massive scientific undertaking, and researchers often use simplified models to uncover small pieces of the neurological puzzle.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science describe their new method to create one such model, using microscopic plates to connect neurons together one cell at a time.
