An artificial neural network could be made to switch on when it "sees" something it knows - a tortoise, say - and it will learn to associate a certain pattern of neuron activity with it.
Their research also examines at both the molecular and cellular level how the timing and pattern of neuron activity in the central nervous system advances from an apparently random state to a tightly choreographed performance that underlies the dart of a fish or the coordinated walk of bipeds like us.
Because calcium ions are directly linked to neuronal firing — unlike the changes in blood flow detected by other types of MRI, which provide an indirect signal — this new type of sensing could allow researchers to link specific brain functions to their pattern of neuron activity, and to determine how distant brain regions communicate with each other during particular tasks.
Thus, with sPCA it was possible to identify the most common overall pattern of neuron distribution associated with fear memory formation across different animals (Figure 4).
Given the profound vascular effects subsequently reported in the hippocampi of pilocarpine- and kainate-treated rats [8], prolonged SE may be an insult more severe than that observed in other experimental epilepsy models, or in humans who exhibit a highly selective and relatively limited pattern of neuron loss [2].
Mirroring the spatiotemporal pattern of neuron generation, Tcf7l2+ immunoreactivity is initially observed from about 35 hpf, with more neurons labeled on the left than right.

And then when your brain says walk, there's a pattern of neuron there's some neurons in your spinal cord that get activated by that, and they start this sort of rhythmic pattern of activity.
Such temporal epochs have been observed in the activation pattern of neurons as low as in area V1.
The research found that in just two hours on the first day of larval development, the random pattern of neurons firing — like fireflies flashing on a summer night — changes to a tight Rockettes-like synchronicity.
They taught mice to associate a tone with a mild shock and found that, once the mice learned the association, the pattern of neurons that activated in response to tone alone resembled the pattern that activated in response to the shock.
Looked at from a neuroscientific point of view our consciousness is nothing more than the complex pattern of neurons firing inside our brains, while our identity and memory is a direct consequence of the strengths of our neurons' links.
Write better and faster with AI suggestions while staying true to your unique style.
Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
