The lab takes on the operating principles of brain neural circuits by focusing on dendrites.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching the brain's operating principles through dendrites
The Brain Engineering Lab works to elucidate the basic operating principles of brain neural circuits, centered on dendrites.
The lab states that the operating principles of the brain are still unknown and are fundamentally different from those of current artificial intelligence.
In 2020, the lab found that general anesthesia blocks information transmission via the dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex, and the paper was published in Cell.
The lab welcomes students who readily adopt novel ideas and new technologies and take on difficult problems of the brain.
Key terms
- Dendrite
- The part of a neuron that extends like a branch and receives signals from other cells
- Metabotropic receptor
- A receptor that receives neurotransmitters and acts through chemical reactions inside the cell
- Layer 5 pyramidal neuron of the cerebral cortex
- A pyramid-shaped neuron located in layer 5 of the cerebral cortex
ResearchResearch themes
The lab believes that the operating principles of the brain are still unknown and are fundamentally different from those of current artificial intelligence. Using original approaches that combine new tools and the latest technologies, the lab takes on the elucidation of the basic operating principles of brain neural circuits.
