The Brain consist of a structural and functional properties of
interconnected neurons. The main challenge is to identify the connections
between neurons. Scientists have already revealed that when a neuron receives or
sends a message it transmits an electric pulse. Even though we can’t see them
even using any advanced microscopes. So, they were not succeeded. And there are
millions of neurons in our brain. So, there are many messages are transmitting
between them. The main objective of the scientists was to identify this connection
between these neurons.
Methodology
Scientists done lots of researches about this and they finally revealed that
there is a method. They come to know that Fluorescent Calcium’s ions will help
to detect the neurons. When a neuron receives a
signal that neuron will fire. Calcium is an essential intracellular
messenger in mammalian neurons. At rest, most neurons have an intracellular
calcium concentration of about 50–100 nM that can rise transiently during
electrical activity to levels that are ten to 100 times higher. At any given
moment, the cytosolic calcium concentration is determined by the balance
between calcium influx and efflux as well as by the exchange of calcium with
internal stores
The method is also applicable to slices of brain
and to recordings of the surface of the brain after it has been exposed
surgically. These being a long time inspiration for computational
intelligence Systems. Understanding the behavior of the neurons will reveal the
Intelligence systems in general. This will helps to find out the alterations
caused to the brain because of the diseases.
