- Research has shown how neuron densities are distributed across and within cortical areas in the mammalian brain. They have unveiled a fundamental organisational principle of cortical cytoarchitecture: the ubiquitous lognormal distribution of neuron densities. https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/follow-hbp/news/2023/08/22/human-brain-project-researchers-identify-mathematical-rule-behind-distribution-neurons-our-brains/ 5 comments science
- Strange dreams might help your brain learn better. Scientists found when they suppressed REM sleep or when the dreams were less creative, the accuracy of this classifier dropped. When scientists removed non-REM sleep, the brain cortex became more sensitive to sensory blockages. https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/follow-hbp/news/2022/05/12/strange-dreams-might-help-your-brain-learn-better-according-research-hbp-scientists/ 4 comments science
