The dynamics of the synapse change is going on all the time, but there's a dynamic system in which you can say that the synapses don't change much during a computation. It is important to consider both the synaptic and system dynamics to model neurobiology.
Understanding different parts of the brain, their functionality, and the behavior of different neurons, by using causal testing to turn up or down the activity of certain types of cells or defined populations of cells and observing the actions. The goal is to monitor single collections of neurons to gain insight on complex behaviors, and single neurons to draw deeper insights on the origins of different parts of the brain.
Engineer and AI expert, Rodney Brooks suggests looking at biology more often as a source of inspiration for building intelligent systems, by understanding how creatures reason about physics, calculate problem-solving skills or how they interact with other agents. Borrowing from biology can help mimic solutions for artificial intelligence more efficiently and open doors for faster learning and problem-solving.
This podcast discusses how chemical reactions, or name reactions, are the fundamental building blocks of chemical synthesis, and how they can be pieced together to create complex molecules.
The possibility of connecting your brain to the computer could lead to totally new breakthroughs, allowing people to access and process information quickly and efficiently.
Translation, the process by which RNA is used to build proteins, is crucial to the operation of the cell. Every process within a cell ultimately supports translation, making it a unique and central component of the biological system.
