Hi,
What they did was hook X million simple neural soma models to each other
with Y000 models of synaptic interconnects. Very useful for investigating
large-scale dynamics....but....the leap to 'mouse brain'?.....presumptuous
I think. Perhaps... 'Mouse-brain scale idealised connectionist model'
would b more accurate and less loaded.... remember...Less than half the
signaling in the brain is via synapses. They didn't even mention the word
'astrocyte'. Interesting..yes. Relevant to the milieu? Yes...but well
informed? Hmmmm....the spin has a little too much chest thumping and not
enough biology, methinks....
cheers
