🧠 Brain Fact #5
Artificial neural networks used in modern AI were originally inspired by how biological neurons connect and process information. Today, neuroscience and AI research continue to influence each other.

🐁 How mice see
Using #DigitalTwins, a research team including Bernstein members @sinzlab.bsky.social, @aecker.bsky.social & Konstantin Willeke has discovered new nerve cells in the mouse visual cortex.

🧠 Brain Fact #4
Even a short period of sleep (like a power nap!) helps the brain reorganize itself and clear space for new ideas — improving its ability to absorb new information and increasing the chance of creative insights 💤

🧠 Brain Fact #3
The brain is remarkably resilient: when some neurons are lost, other neighbouring neurons can reorganize and take over their role to maintain function 🧩
#BrainAwarenessWeek #BernsteinNetwork #CompNeuro
🪰 A collaboration including Bernstein member Frederic Römschied (European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen has shown that fruit flies can adapt their social behavior and learn from these experiences.

🧠 Brain Fact #2
Many neuroscience theories suggest the brain constantly predicts incoming sensory information and updates its predictions if they turn out wrong. Computational models help understand how these predictions arise in neural circuits 🔮

Even innate vocal behaviors can be socially flexible. In zebra finches, replies to contact calls are faster and more reliable when the caller is familiar than when hearing strangers.

A stylized graphic of a lightbulb with a brain inside. Next to it, the following text: "Your brain runs on ~20 watts — less energy than many household light bulbs!".
🧠 Brain Fact #1
Did you know? The human brain uses only about 20 watts of power — while performing computations that still challenge today’s supercomputers 💡
For #BrainAwarenessWeek, we're sharing insights from #CompNeuro research across the #BernsteinNetwork. What are your favorite brain facts?
