Beautiful 3-D Brain Scans Show Every Synapse | National Geographic 

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Fifty viewers who just couldn't grasp the idea? This is amazing and so incredible to me. Never quit learning.

This made me tear up. It's just such a miracle and beautiful thing that we even exist the way that we do.

My brain wants to learn more about itself 🧠

A beautiful brain that creates a beautiful mind and yet it's function is beyond human understanding.

So incredibly beautiful. Going to watch this with our school’s neuroscience club today!!!

I love Science

beautiful on all levels. thank you.

That was so incredibly fascinating.

This is the coolest thing I've watched on YT. Thanks for posting this video!

I want more!!

Watching a video about the brain makes me want to develop more empathy.

Beautiful !

thats a whole lot better than the videos about the sasquach and other fiction things that ocasionally pop up on NG

Fascinating information. I looked up these kinds of videos because I've suffered from migraines a very long time and just wanted to know something about how the brain works. I've had the privilege of working in the medical field and was able to s/w some neurologist of geneticist regarding alzhiemers since my grandmother and 4 of her siblings succumbed to it. Thank you for sharing this information.

Amazing!

You gotta see the wires at 1:08 seeing a brain like that blew my mind

hey, good research man thanks from Turkey

It has been linked to intelligence: ApoE gene: thought to play a role in memory and learning. BDNF gene: Thought to play a role in brain development and cognitive functions. COMT gene: thought to play a role in information processing.

Brilhante pesquisa.

Astounding details explored

Cool, thanks Tim! :)

A Herculean effort. Amazing.

I am glad to find this video and have subscribed , I do art and want to capture the neurons of our brain , I find it so interesting but also it's so hard to draw , due to my foggy brain activity from fibromyalgia , I hope by watching your videos I can accomplish my dream . thanks for sharing National Geographic has always been my favorite teacher about nature and so many lessons to learn at my age of seventy three ,wish me luck thank you I appreciate you Jeff Lichtman !!!

Beautiful film

At 2'40", it was stated "For a mm-depth, you get about 32,000 sections." That means each section is bout 30 nm thick. Is it possible?

Gorgeous

This is amazing! Imaging when they will be able to scan (microscopy) inside a living nerve cells!!! I whish I'll be young again!!!

Excellent video. National geo, doing what they do best.

Doing a good job thanks

wow, just wow!

3:54 dude just rocked my world

Science is awesome

Neuro-science is indeed remarkable field.

at last a proper video

Brains... probably the most complex things in the known Universe

What's the name of that process--cutting thin slices and then following the stop motion video? Super creative way to go about the complicated process of discovering the wiring of the brain.

There are a few theories about how this chip or chip works: Stimulating specific areas of the brain: The chip may be used to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with aging, such as the hypothalamus. Hormone control: The chip may be used to control the secretion of hormones that play a role in aging, such as growth hormone. Repair damage at the cellular level: The chip may be used to repair damage at the cellular level, which is a major factor in aging.

i saw this while on acid, and the next day found this article

Can I just get a 10 hour version of 3:30 without the NG logo?

The connectome

In How To Create A Mind, Ray Kurzweil suggests that knowing the individual connections is not as important as simulating the brain's actual functions (pattern recognizers). It would be like trying to see how an Intel Quad core processor works by looking at all the transistor gates. You'll get some neat pictures, but no real insight on how the chip works.

Who are the researchers?!

I wonder how they are differentiating between thoughts and intents...between thoughts that become actions and thoughts that die instead of transmitting commands.

I wonder which 3-d software can rending the image, or where can i get the detail protocal and material? thx

I need to know the artist who made that background music, does anyone know?

Would you please be able to make the mesh freely available?

3:11 Warpdrive? huh, maybe the brain already found the loop hole. Kudos

1:51 Wow! the brightest people, doing human brain research. To my embarrassment, first I thought they were the patients on which research was being done. Maybe I have become accustomed to actors/politicians on TV and was too quick to assume they are all patients. My apologies.

He talks sooooo softly

Is it possible to get permission to use a snippet of this video for a neuroscience oriented video?

Our quest to understand what we all known as existence.

Got to have the wiring diagram , then you can jump out wires as needed . Or pull the fuse and make the repair . The brain seems to have parallels to electrical troubleshooting

Loox like Michael Pollock's painting

what if there's nothing to see but to hear

It’s not about how the synapses communicate, but what they communicate. Where are the words and pictures that make up thoughts?

🧠🤯

7 years later, where is this project now?

I'm fascinated to know why one person is evil & another is good. Doing a medical admin course at my local college has peaked my curiosity into what makes us humans tick.

I hope scientists realize soon that that's not an electric circuit. There are no conductors and insulation for this model to occur. Whatever signal being processed is more subtle. We need to research the Aether.

Don't you dare say long road, It should be shortened by young and smart next generation that is already been working on it Solve it quickly, and make a freaking cure next month or year, Come on 2020!

That's initial plot of Soma.

They said, we know everything.

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:14

dont hate

I thought we've only covered 5.08cm (2inches), but hey, your conjecture is as good as any.

"This video has a visual representation of how i have described That The FORMULA FOR ALLKNOWING functions" The Creator of existence

We do the same thing with acupuncture and trigger points this are wire

man that is complicated.

Lol. Imagine if you as brain per task plus brain of some odd people who have accomplished he unexpected. Like reconfiguring their facial structure of so

Where my ahs school peeps at?

But we do know what brains are made up of at the finest level. We don't know much at the middle levels.

Why is it so sleepy?

National Geographic The bundle seems to cover only one axon, and the scientists mention one millimeter. How is this showing "every synapse"?

It's an integrated message system just like Bible says

ходьба по лаборатории и ляляля - замечательное видео

Kurzgesagt sent me

Now it should be 6 inches, right? ??

Awesome! Too bad RU-vid compression made the 3D animation so horrible...

Can you tell me, who is the head-scientist?

what if we make a brain with just an eye ?!

whoose here from wait but why??

Could you imagine if the whole internet was like this????? Me neither. Back to cat vids.

So they have the source code but they have no idea how to decode it? What they have decoded is but a drop in the ocean?

Life is free will wherever our will goes is where our brains go and connect to one another, some call it the soul, if we die that conscience will live on detached from our bodies. Free will is a gift from God he revers him as I Am who I am, the beginning and the end, he also refers himself as I Am your Savior. We are free to choose God's nature or not God is Love and whoever stays to him will stay to him and whoever chooses not to will be detached from him which is Love without love there is only Hate jealousy pain suffering I'd advice people to choose for God!

Don't schizophrenics have less tissue in the cerebral cortex and autistics have differences in their cerebellums?

4th

(Hans Asperger)

Wait what? With 1mm slices they are able to map all the synapses but with 20-micron slices of the human brain they can't? Are mouse synapses thousands of times bigger than in humans or something? Makes no sense.

dude those are mice imagine if they were Eisenstein's

You try to break people to convince everybody that they're the same so that you can psychologically trick them into thinking in the herd mentality which causes them to forget that they may be the one of the herd that gets taken out and you're trying to do this and then you try to convince them that you think you knowv you have to keep changing in adjusting it which means you didn't know things have to be adjusted mine doesn't because the way that it's whatever attic if you want to use oh and you affecting the actual our speech to text because you're still trying to hide behind everything which suggests that you actually are basically trying to do the structure into any federal or republic system and obviously no other form of governance has worked so farso you can't develop any system at all because people are the same but you can't think of a fair way to resolve the matter besides holding everybody to their standard so you're trying to now hold a Secret court where you are going to try to hide all of this because you failed and you can't manage on whatever bullshit system that you've tried to develop which is to try to make everybody the same so you failed you lost now the only justification you can you you have a gun so everyone has to do what you say which also is not really effective or efficient so you lose everything you failed you're at a last resort which is to resort to trying to hold a secret court and to try to murder and that's not effective or efficient so you basically lose everything and there's nothing you can do about it. People are not the same which is a correction from the statement above which just goes to show show that you actually are still trying to manipulate the shit and you don't understand that you're losing.

First

"the real world is more complicated than the way I'm thinking about it" I disagree, think about how newton simplified all the motions of heavenly objects to f=ma, or einsteins mass-energy relationship e=mc^2

No real information value

WE are only an infinitely small fraction of GOD; so of course we aren't as smart as he is.

"the real world is more complicated than the way I'm thinking about it" I would humbly suggest that your thinking of all the connections according to a simplistic computational 'wiring' paradigm may be inappropriate to grasp the bio-psycho-dynamic complexities that you hope to comprehend....
