AI Model Mimics Mouse Brain, Unlocking Virtual Neuroscience Frontier
Summary
In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have developed an AI model that mimics the mouse brain's visual cortex, enabling virtual neuroscience experiments with the potential to accelerate research by accurately predicting the responses of tens of thousands of neurons to new visual stimuli.
Key Points
- Scientists created an AI model that acts as a 'digital twin' of the mouse brain's visual cortex
- The model can accurately predict the responses of tens of thousands of neurons to new visual stimuli
- Digital twins could allow virtually unlimited experiments on the same 'brain', accelerating neuroscience research
