Scientists from the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences have created a detailed model of the human hippocampus. This has been reported RIA News”.
Rather than reconstructing the details of the brain at the cellular level, the study authors used reverse task search. It involves searching for parameters that allow the model to reproduce experimental data on brain rhythm.
Brain rhythm plays an important role in various processes. Each type of rhythm is characterized by a certain frequency and amplitude of electromagnetic oscillation. When the functional activity of the brain changes, the nature of the oscillations also changes. Therefore, identifying and understanding these rhythms is key to understanding the functioning of the brain as a whole.
The study’s authors collected experimental data on the most studied area of the hippocampus. Scientists know of 18 types of inhibitory neurons; the authors were able to model a network of seven people. Writers will improve it in the future. The results of the study show that by investigating the inverse problem, it is possible to determine the parameters at which the brain model reproduces experimental data on brain rhythm.
