Unleashing the Power of Ultrafast Imaging to Decode Neuron Models!

Imagine you have a super detailed blueprint of a house, but you want to know what each room does. By using ultrafast cameras that capture every movement and interaction inside, scientists are decoding the function of tiny gatekeepers called ion channels in our brain cells. Neuron modeling, guided by this high-speed imaging data, holds the […]

Cortical Hierarchies and Learning Mechanisms Explored

Imagine your brain as a complex network that processes information in different levels of abstraction, just like a visual stream that starts with edge filters and transforms into object representations. This process is also observed in artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained for object recognition. However, traditional training algorithms like backpropagation are not biologically plausible. To […]
