With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a single measurement in a living brain.
Now, researchers are using artificial intelligence and the connectome -- a map of neurons and their connections created from brain tissue -- to predict the role of neurons in the living brain. Using only information about the connectivity of a neural circuit gleaned from the fruit fly visual system connectome and a guess at what the circuit is supposed to do, researchers created an AI simulation of the fruit fly visual system that can predict the activity of every neuron in the circuit.
