The Advancements in Brain Mapping Techniques
01:30 - 08:39 (07:09)
The advancements in brain mapping techniques offer an opportunity to study the brain at the level of a few millimeters, providing insights into generic principles of canonical microcircuitry, helping to understand message passing in the brain, and the dynamics of neuronal population underwriting brain function. However, achieving perfect imaging or a detailed map of the brain does not necessarily bring us closer to understanding the brain or the mind.

The mapping of the human brain is important to understand the message passing in the brain and dynamics of neuronal population that underwrite our brain function.

Summary
The mapping of the human brain is important to understand the message passing in the brain and dynamics of neuronal population that underwrite our brain function. Mapping the brain would help us come closer to understanding the mind of the brain but it is still unclear how much of the human brain we truly understand from the low to the highest level.

Summary
The brain has a hierarchical structure that is defined by a sparse and particular connectivity structure. This structure is characterized by a recurrence, sparsity, and specialization that distinguish it from the simple anatomy of a machine.
