Incredible images of the human brain


Researchers from Google AI and Harvard Medical School collaborated to create stunningly detailed images of the human brain using advanced AI. The project involved analyzing a tiny piece of human brain tissue, about 3 millimeters long, which came from the anterior temporal lobe of the cortex. This seemingly insignificant piece of tissue required an astounding 1.4 petabytes of data to describe its complexity – that’s a million gigabytes!

Here are some of the incredible images generated by this project:

  • A view through six layers of the brain: This image shows the six layers of the cortex, with neurons colored according to their size and type. The surface of the brain is visible at the top of the image.

  • A close-up of individual neurons: This image shows the incredible detail of individual neurons, including their branching structures.

  • Myelin staining: This image shows the distribution of myelin, a fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers and helps them transmit signals faster.

  • Blood vessels: This image shows the intricate network of blood vessels that supply the brain with oxygen and nutrients.

  • Synapses: This image shows the tiny junctions between neurons, where signals are transmitted.

  • 3D reconstruction: This image shows a 3D reconstruction of the entire piece of brain tissue, allowing scientists to view it from any angle.

These images are a testament to the power of AI and its potential to revolutionize our understanding of the human brain. By providing us with unprecedented detail about the brain's structure and function, these images could help us to develop new treatments for neurological disorders and improve our understanding of how the brain works.

Principles Aquaponics

  Aquaponics: How Does it Work? Aquaponics is seen as a highly efficient farming solution that addresses these multiple farming challenges. By using less water compared to conventional farming, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, and minimizing waste, aquaponics presents a promise for producing food without damaging our environment. What is Aquaponics? Aquaponics is a sustainable farming method that combines aquaculture (the cultivation of aquatic organisms like fish) with hydroponics (the growing of plants in nutrient-rich water without soil). This combination creates biological processes that occur in both systems to create a closed-loop environment where fish and plants thrive together. How Does Aquaponics Work? In aquaponics, the plants are grown in the grow bed, and fish are placed in the fish tank. The nutrient-rich water from the fish tank that contains fish waste is fed to the grow bed, where billions of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria break the ammonia dow...

Hydroponic: Nutrient Sensor

Features of Hydroponic Nutrient Sensor Hydroponics is an alternative method of growing food using water instead of soil. The hydroponic nutrient sensor meter and nutrient meter track nutrient levels. Features of Hydroponic Nutrient Sensor are: It measures nitrogen levels with an Ion selective sensors (ISE) nitrogen sensor. A nitrogen sensor measures the nitrogen level in its solution. You can use this data to determine whether you need to add more fertilizer or not. Monitors nitrate levels with a nitrate ISE sensor. A nitrate sensor monitors nitrate levels in its solution. This allows you to see how much nitrate is available in your solution. Detects ammonia levels with an ammonium ISE sensor. The ammonia sensor detects ammonium levels in water. It will let you know when the level is too high. You can adjust the pH of your solution to reduce ammonia levels. Check pH levels with an ISE pH sensor. A pH sensor is a small device that connects to the sample. It measures the pH of your water...
