AI breakthrough identifies active brain neurons
A neuroscience mystery has been solved by using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the electrical signatures of brain neurons
Dr Maxime Beau, co-first author of the study from the UCL Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, said: “For decades, neuroscientists have struggled with the fundamental problem of reliably identifying the many different types of neurons simultaneously active during behaviour. One of the main aims of the researchers is to study neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, autism, and dementia, many of which are thought to involve changes to the way different cell types in the brain interact. Professor Beverley Clark a senior author of the study from UCL Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, said: “Just as many different instruments in an orchestra contribute to the sound of a symphony, the brain relies on many distinct neuron types to create the complex behaviour that humans and other animals exhibit.
