Speaking as someone who actually works with several hundred terabytes of brain scans in our database at various resolutions, and various pattern-recognition systems running 24/7 on them, yes, in fact we are in the middle of developing better maps. Most of the complexity, it turns out, is emergent. Our genome doesn't contain enough information to lay out brains at the connection level. All the specific details develop in response to input and activity. An unexpected development is that human brains in particular have more different *kinds* of neuron than any other species we've studied. FAR more. And they all respond differently in terms of growing and connecting when that input and activity happens.

[@nojatha4637]

Okay... so from your professional perspective, how many more years would you have to guess for us to finally map out the human brain? My hope is 50 years.

[@zrebbesh]

@@nojatha4637 Sorry, but I don't think you've got that much time to prepare. I think we're going to get the brain mapped in detail within about eight years give or take four. Or, at least, down to the level of all the details that are applicable to our whole species. That's orders of magnitude short of the complexity of an individual brain, but the details that will remain unmapped are those that are emergent and different from individual to individual.

[@nojatha4637]

+Zrebbesh That’s amazing! Mapping out the entire human brain could lead into some insane technology! We could make 100% accurate lie detectors! We could cure dementia/Alzheimer’s! We could download our consciousness into a database (hopefully)! We could manually download information into ourselves! We could raise our IQ levels! We could telepathically talk to each other! So many good things can come from a single discovery! :D Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@zrebbesh]

​@@nojatha4637 I think you're probably right about the lie detectors because people's brains are alike enough that particular activity mapped to lying is probably shared. But uploading memory or downloading knowledge requires mapping *one* *individual* brain, because the mapping of memories to brain structure is different from one individual to the next. It's even different in the same individual over time. Dementia/Alzheimers is definitely something we intend to understand better, but there's no guarantee that understanding it will lead immediately to a cure. It will sure help us know where to look, but undoing the damage after it's done might not even be possible. Being able to prevent it however is likely.

[@nojatha4637]

+Zrebbesh Well, that’s good since it seems Alzheimer’s runs in my family. And I guess uploading, downloading, and upgrading the brain is a bit more into the future than some of the stuff I mentioned. Still, though, it’s definitely an achievement to map out the general structure of the brain. Thank you for working in an industry on the forefront of human achievement. :)

Human genome has been mapped but how it all works is yet to be fully understood. Many people do not realize that the connectome project is not only going to be for this possible mapping, but if they can loosely identify areas and patterns in the MRI in different diseases, then this can help to diagnose diseases better. As for mapping whole brain out and shit, motor areas and sensory areas are kind of okay, but then it would get very hairy. What is not shown in this video is that all those connections will have different types of neurotransmitters at their end, and different types of receptors at the receiving ends. One region can have positive, negative and mixed effect on another, and some can have modulating actions on others. A lot of areas are connected with various other parts, like area 9,10,11 and so on. Unless MRI machines can achieve electron microscopic level of precision it is still a long shot.

Looking at a few individual neurons is like looking at some transistors in a microprocessor. Yes it can be fascinating, but it will not show you how the processor functions. I think a map of functional regions and how they connect is the way to go. Later focus on individual regions and try to understand and map these. But starting top down makes more sense in understanding the brain. Something I noticed is the way main pathways are organized. They are very symmetrical over the left and right hemispheres. This implies the hemispheres are structured the same way. Maybe there's also some kind of symmetry in the functions, the hemispheres perform.

When we started the human genome project, we assumed that DNA was a singular factor in a way that we are discovering was wrong. It's very important, yes. But epigenetics turns out to be a lot more complex and interesting than we thought at the time we started the project. We're embarking on this connectome project with much less confidence that we're actually researching the most important factor governing the kinds of things we want to know. In a sense, this project seems as much about discovering whether the connectome is even useful as we want it to be as it is about mapping it. So, I think the likelihood that we're making a colossal blunder in tossing so many resources at it, as well as the likelihood that it's being oversold, seems higher.

From mathematics/logics I must disappoint us: As far as my understanding goes, the Goedelian incompletenes theorem implies that no system is fully capable of describing itself consistently or without any contradictions and so the human mind might never ever be able to fully describe/understand itself; Or a system can never be complex enough to FULLY(!) understand it's own complexity since it's like trying to surpass one's own shade. for example why person A experiences an envent E different than person B allthough they had almost the same biography and genetical blueprint. Or how conciosnes is made? Or how nuanced feelings emerge from the mind? How can we derive the exact experienced feelings inside humans from neuronal activities? How can near death experience be explained by neuronal activity allthough EEG diagrams would imply "brain death"? When does concious experience of reality start in embryonal development? Can we determine a threshold of when a brain of any living being is sufficiently complex (throughout it's evolution) in order to develop conscious experience? Will we ever be able to derive the exact disorder and symptoms just by brain images? From which neurological factors does intelligence depend on? On the number of neurons? On the number of synapses? On the number of dendrites? On the number of gliacells surounding the neurons? Or only on specific qantities of neurotransmitters inside the synapses? On the amount of grey matter? Or maybe a quotient of grey matter to white matter? Or maybe a multivariate function of all those listed things? And how does informational input and internal processing of information relate? Are they independent of each other or codependent? Btw: Of course: The incompletenes theorem only limits us in answering THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS of our brain.

@@RLjumpers Bro, look what we did in just 10 years. From a flip phone to a full-screen phone. Imagine 5,000 years. We would be a type 4 civilisation since then

If we have mapped out the neural network of sea elegans, could we attempt recreating an artificial sea elegans neural network? If it ‘came to life’ it would be groundbreaking, and if it didn’t we would have to reconsider our definition of what it means to be alive!

Tom Holland it’s already done

[@filmfan4]

Ajay S. Bal, did it come alive? Do you have a source for that?

[@AjaySBal]

Tom Holland kind of! Here, check it out yourself kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4q2aIh_irKSibM

I'm most excited for scientist to understand savant syndrome. With a greater understanding they can develop a drug that will allow exponential growth of the mind and possibly give us a chance against the fight in the coming intellectual divide.

It is millions of years of evolution. And we are trying to break its complexities in decades. I don't say it's impossible, but it will be difficult and challenging.

thank you for this

Human brain map will probably be the first data set that is in the Zetabytes (10^21). Unimaginably large even at current standards.

How much if we factor in biochemistry?

I wonder where do those scientists find so many healthy human brains they cook with micro waves. So they don't really understand how fine neuron structure works, but they can monitor larger areas, detect and decode behavioral pasterns guessing what subject is thinking about, because we all use same symbolic language. Flashing inside brain structure correspond to a symbol, we understand as latter or word, they don't need to detect every single neuron.

Researchers still think it’s an estimated *100 billion neurons.* A scientist named _Suzana Herculano-Houzel,_ tested it around *86 billion* neurons. That’s just one test, so it still could be around 100B. Maybe billions decayed within the experiment. Here the link to her study- www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/11/24/86-billion-neurons-herculano-houzel/
