Real Neuron

Real neurons are complex computational units whose intricate structure and dynamics are being actively investigated to understand information processing in the brain. Current research focuses on developing biologically realistic models, including spiking neural networks and those incorporating dendritic structures, to capture the spatiotemporal patterns of neuronal activity and their relationship to behavior. These models employ techniques like diffusion processes and low-rank approximations to analyze high-dimensional data and reveal underlying low-dimensional latent structures governing neural activity. This work has implications for both neuroscience, advancing our understanding of brain function, and artificial intelligence, inspiring the design of more efficient and biologically plausible artificial neural networks.
