“The findings are already enabling Blue Brain to build biologically detailed reconstructions and simulations of the mouse brain by computationally reconstructing brain regions for simulations that replicate neuronal morphologies’ anatomical properties and include region-specific anatomy,” Kanari said.
“We address one of the fundamental problems for neuroscience– the scarcity of experimental neuronal reconstructions– since the topological synthesis [algorithm] requires only a few examples to generate large numbers of unique cells,” Kanari continued.
As of now, the mathematical system is able to synthesize ten million cells in just a few hours. So, not only is this approach more accurate, but it is also extremely efficient.
