Researchers from Japan and Seattle's Allen Institute have created a detailed supercomputer simulation of a mouse cortex, featuring nearly 10 million neurons and 26 billion synapses, using the world's fastest supercomputer Fugaku. This breakthrough could lead to new methods for studying brain diseases like Alzheimer's and epilepsy.
A detailed map of the cells and synapses in a segment of a human brain sample has been created through a collaboration between Harvard and Google. The ultimate goal is to create a full map of a human brain like this, with each synapse and other structures detailed.
