California scientists grow a model from nerve cells brain, and ten months later, unexpectedly discovered that his tissue began to show activity. This was reported by the publication. Newsweek
Biologists from the University of California at San Diego said that an indicator of neural activity is unprecedented.
During research, scientists placed stem cells in live a culture that resembles a brain environment. As a result why, they gradually turned into cells of the cerebral cortex and interconnected in such a way as to form a structure, like a brain. During the experiment, hundreds were grown organoids, that is, elements of the brain.
Brainwaves recorded by scientists are coordinated pulses that with a certain frequency transmitted by neurons. These waves have characteristic thought processes impulses, however, according to scientists, the resulting brain model is too primitive and cannot possess consciousness.
Researchers believe that in the future they will get something similar on the signals of the human brain that affect behavior, memory and thought process. In addition, the resulting model will help find ways to treat brain diseases such as autism, schizophrenia and epilepsy.
Scientists also do not exclude that in the future their results come in handy for creating artificial intelligence.
