If it works,
actual brain behavior should emerge from the fundamental framework inside the computer, and where it doesn't work, scientists will know where their knowledge falls short.
Not exact matches
The researchers also found that activation of ESP1 - responding neurons in the region of the
brain called the hypothalamus enhanced sexual
behavior in female mice, even in the absence of
actual ESP1, by using various tools to chemically or optically control neural activities, combined with a process called the TRAP method, which allows them to selectively manipulate neurons responding to a particular stimulus.
In summary, the results of this study show the potential for functional MRI to bridge the dissociation that can occur between
behavior that is readily observable during a standardized clinical assessment and the
actual level of residual cognitive function after serious
brain injury.14 - 16 Thus, among 23 patients who received a diagnosis of being in a vegetative state on admission, 4 were shown to be able to willfully modulate their
brain activity through mental imagery; this fact is inconsistent with the behavioral diagnosis.
