Brain Simulation
Brain Simulation is a computer rendering of the brain involving the replication of neuron electrical and chemical attributes. The neural connectome, a complex wiring, of the target organism is an essential component to the model. The purpose of brain simulation projects are to create a better understanding of the brain and help the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.
