Could a computer scientist build a brain?
- The problem and its constraintsStrategy 1: the identity approachStrategy 2: the guidepost approachStrategy 3: the coordinate approachThe role of noisePlasticityDiscussionNotesReferences Stan Kerstjens & Anthony M.
- Zador Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Correspondence: kerstje@cshl.edu How does a brain wire itself, starting from a single cell, using only the information encoded in a genome?
- We pose this as an engineering problem: Write a program that a single cell executes to build itself into a brain.
