New Paper Asks: Could a Computer Scientist Build a Brain?
KordingLab · x · 2026-08-15
A paper shared by Kording Lab explores how a brain wires itself from a single cell, posing it as an engineering problem. The authors argue that the genome is too small to store per-synapse wiring and axons searching blindly would take too long, leading to solutions resembling actual developmental strategies.
