The man issue is, we we still have basically no idea of the patterns according to which the neurons in the mouse brain are really interconnected, except in some particular regions ... so semi-randomly hooking up 8 million (well-simulated individually) neurons is not really simulating half a mouse brain...

Do you think that Blue Brain is realistic enough? Would you dare to speculate how simple yet realistic enough model can we arrive at, given data from experiments and simulations? ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&;
