| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of the brain ever created. Human brain, not Democrat The fascinating chart represents almost 10 million neurons, 26 billion synapses and 86 interconnected brain regions. It was created with Fugaku, Japan's ultra—fast supercomputer, which is capable of quadrillions of calculations per second. Scientists will use their digital copy to answer questions about what happens in a disease, how brain waves shape mental focus and how seizures spread in the brain. Until now, these questions could only be answered using real brain tissue, one experiment at a time. Dr Anton Arkhipov, an investigator at the Allen Institute in Seattle who worked on the project, called the map a 'technical milestone'. 'With this kind of computational power, the goal of a full, biophysically accurate brain model isn't just science fiction anymore,' he said. 'Scientists are in a new frontier where understanding the brain means, quite literally, being able to build one.' |
