Building a Brain, Cell by Cell: Researchers Make a Mini Neuron Network (of Two)
Neurological research uses simplified models consisting of artificial collections of neurons. These models are often imprecise, because it is difficult to control how neurons connect to one another. Researchers at The University of Tokyo developed a technique that uses microscopic plates to guide how individual neurons grow, and showed that they can make functional connections between specific neurons. The findings may aid in the development of more precise models of neuron networks.
