200,000 brain cells in a volume of 1 cubic mm.

"Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue. In a landmark achievement, the diagram also details the activity of individual neurons on a large scale ― a neuroscience first."

The discovery of ‘ovoid cells’ is transforming our understanding of memory and may pave the way for new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.

These highly specialized neurons activate each time we encounter something new, triggering a process that stores those objects in memory and allowing us to recognize them months—potentially even years—later.

I'm proud to introduce my favorite #LLM «Oggy» featuring a whopping 530 million #neurons. He's a mature (15 years), versatile and energy efficient intelligence, trained with goodies on a couple of dozen prompts, but his true strength is creativity. You can ask him any question, the answer, however, is limited to "yes" (barking) or "no" (no barking). Despite this limited interface, he's able to nail it 50% of the time which is only a few percent less than what competing LLMs deliver today. #ai

ScienceDailyPossible foundations of human intelligence observed for the first timeA study has demonstrated how neurons in the human brain generate memories and establish narratives. Contrary to previous beliefs, individual neurons represent the concepts we learn, regardless of the context in which we encounter them. This allows humans, unlike other animals, to establish higher and more abstract relationships, which lays the foundation of human intelligence.
