  2. Blue Brain Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project

    The Blue Brain Project was a Swiss brain research initiative that aims to create a digital reconstruction of the mouse brain. The project was founded in May 2005 by the Brain Mind Institute of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland.

    Astrocytes (green) in the context of neurons (red) in a mouse cortex cell culture 23-week-old fetal brain culture human astrocyte Astrocytes (red-yellow) among neurons (green) in the living cerebral cortex. Astrocytes are a sub-type of glial cells in the central nervous system. They are also known as astrocytic glial cells.

  4. Adult neurogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_neurogenesis

    For example, the rate of neurogenesis in aged animals is predictive of memory. [114] However, new born cells in aged animals are functionally integrated. [ 115 ] Given that neurogenesis occurs throughout life, it might be expected that the hippocampus would steadily increase in size during adulthood, and that therefore the number of granule ...

    Philip Beesley's Astrocyte aims to show that architecture can be more than just ornamental. Built from acrylic, mylar, sensors, custom glasswork, 3D-printed lights and using AI, chemistry and a ...

    Astrocytes are the largest of the glial cells. They are stellate cells with many processes radiating from their cell bodies. Some of these processes end as perivascular endfeet on capillary walls. [42] The glia limitans of the cortex is made up of astrocyte endfeet processes that serve in part to contain the cells of the brain. [12]

    Working memory is the ability of the brain to maintain a temporary representation of information about the task that an animal is currently engaged in. This sort of dynamic memory is thought to be mediated by the formation of cell assemblies —groups of activated neurons that maintain their activity by constantly stimulating one another.

  8. Cognitive architecture - Wikipedia

    This architecture is an online machine learning model developed by Jeff Hawkins and Dileep George of Numenta, Inc. that models some of the structural and algorithmic properties of the neocortex. HTM is a biomimetic model based on the memory-prediction theory of brain function described by Jeff Hawkins in his book On Intelligence. HTM is a ...

    This occurs in all species of animals except the porifera (sponges) and placozoans. [2] Types of NSCs include neuroepithelial cells (NECs), radial glial cells (RGCs), basal progenitors (BPs), intermediate neuronal precursors (INPs), subventricular zone astrocytes , and subgranular zone radial astrocytes , among others.
