Neuroscientists find cortical columns in brain not uniform, challenging large-scale simulation models | KurzweilAI

Neuroscientists find cortical columns in brain not uniform, challenging large-scale simulation models | KurzweilAI: The study was based on recent advances in high-resolution imaging and reconstruction techniques (confocal microscopy and automated image-processing routines)... enabling researchers to automatically and reliably detect the 3D location and type of every nerve cell throughout the entire brain...
“By determining the exact numbers and distributions of nerve cells within almost 100 cortical columns, the substantial differences observed across columns within the same animal argue against the principle of cortical uniformity.”
