Reviewing Neuroscience: Significant Progress in Whole Brain Simulation and Atlases
patrickmineault · x · 2026-08-22
The author reread 'The Future of the Brain' (2014) to evaluate progress over the last decade. While not all goals were met, there have been significant achievements in brain atlases, connectomes, and whole brain simulations. The post explores the reasons for this success, covering agenda setting, defining new capabilities, and deep thinking methodologies, offering insights relevant to both neuroscience and AI.
