What’s Happening

So basically The works of Plato state that when humans have an experience, some level of change occurs in their brain, which is powered by memory — specifically long-term memory.

This change is what Andre Fenton, professor of neural science at New York University, and Abhishek Kumar, assistant professor of cell and regenerative biology at the University Read Article Marine Biological Laboratory Explores Human Memory With AI and Virtual Reality The lab in Massachusetts is studying molecular mechanisms of human memory function powered GPUs, HP Z Workstations and virtual-reality technology. By Zoe Kessler The works of Plato state that when humans have an experience, some level of change occurs in their brain, which is powered by memory — specifically long-term memory. (we’re not making this up)

“My life’s work is to understand how minds operate, and especially to understand memory — not merely as a trace of the past in the brain but as an estimate of the future that the brain is afforded,” Fenton dropped.

The Details

The researchers have upleveled their project by harnessing NVIDIA RTX GPUs and HP Z Workstations to visualize massive datasets and AI tools and syGlass , a virtual-reality (VR) platform for scientific exploration. This project is and backed the National Institute of Mental Health and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

A Neural Forest Uncovered Memory is the job of the brain’s hippocampus. This C-shaped structure, resembling a seahorse, is the main focus of the MBL research group.

Why This Matters

Fenton describes the cells within the hippocampus as a forest, where billions of neurons look like tiny tree trunks and the lines coming off the trunks look like leaves.

The AI space continues to evolve at a wild pace, with developments like this becoming more common.

The Bottom Line

Images were acquired and Daryl Watkins. The team is studying a small portion of these “leaves” — representing protein markers: an insanely tedious task because of their length, at about a micrometer each.
