The international team of neurobiologists studied more than 600 thousand neurons in 139 mice and found that the decision -making process used more parts of the brain than it was previously considered.
In the first instance, scientists managed to draw a map of a mammal’s brain decision making process with a cell’s permission. The study was conducted by the International Laboratory of the Brain, and its results were described by the publication of the interesting -engineering.
During the experiment, the mouse is controlled by a small “steering wheel” to move objects to the screen. For the right action, they received a reward – a sip of sugar. This allowed scientists to monitor neural activity at the time of decision.
Data analysis from different laboratories occupies more than 600 thousand neurons in 279 areas of the brain of 139 mice. As Princess University Princess explains, some witten, conclusions suggest that making decisions is not a function of individual centers, but a shared process that covers even areas that have previously been related only to motor functioning.
Scientists emphasize that the created map is a unique resource for further research. At the same time, they noticed that this was the only beginning of understanding the complex interaction of neurons with the brain.
Earlier it was reported that prolonged exposure to heat waves accelerates the aging process in the same way as smoking, alcohol or malnutrition.
