A new study reveals that neurons establish 'mini-computers' very early in life to make the brain computationally powerful.
reveals that neurons establish"mini-computers" very early in life to make the brain computationally powerful.
But what if we could observe the development of these subunits in real life? In a new study from the group of Christian Lohmann, researchers looked into the computational subunits in the intact developing brain of young mice. They indeed discovered that the communication points in the dendrites, or synapses, are clustered according to the information they are transmitting. In other words, neighboring synapses that transmit similar information are clustered together in dendritic domains.
Answers to this question will help us understand better how our brains develop and how errors in development can compromise the brain's computational power. They could also potentially give new ideas for designing biologically inspired artificial neuronal networks for high-level information processing as for example AI.
