The study of the human brain has existed since ancient times. There was no modern advanced medical equipment in ancient times, and the exploration and research of the brain was more through meditation, meditation and other things. This was called cultivation in ancient times, but in fact, from the perspective of modern science, it is also a way to develop the potential of the brain. As for the effect, I don't know, maybe it will still have a very good effect.
In modern times, with the rapid development of human science and technology, scientists pay more and more attention to the research and exploration of the brain. With very advanced instruments, we can see more information about the brain structure and learn more. However, the human brain is a very complex system. Although there are advanced scientific instruments in modern times, human beings know very little about the brain, and what we know may be only a little fur. What is really complicated and mysterious about the human brain is consciousness, which is a kind of.
It has been suggested that only 10% of human brain functions can be utilized, and 90% of brain functions have not yet been developed. Whether this view is correct or not is inconclusive. The development of human brain potential is indeed a direction of continuous research in modern science, which also shows that human brain does have the continuous development of potential. What we are going to discuss today is another scientific topic, that is, if 90% of the brain is lost, can the remaining 10% continue to support life?
Many people may think this is impossible. If you lose 90% of your brain, then this person's life will come to an end. How can he save his life? So what is the truth? Scientists have come to the conclusion through continuous research that life can be sustained, that is, when the brain loses 90%, the remaining 10% can still sustain life. This is a very remarkable discovery, and it also reflects the complexity and mystery of the brain.
So how does the brain maintain a person's life through the remaining 10%? Scientists are still unable to determine the reason for its plasticity, especially when the brain connection is enhanced, neurons must be compensated in some way, otherwise they will be "swallowed up" by a large number of input information. The researchers found that when one synapse in the brain is enhanced, the adjacent synapse will be weakened immediately, thus preventing the "disconnection" of neurons. There is a special protein that plays a key role.
The researchers implanted luminescent substances into the visual cortex of mice and magnified the dendrites of specific dendrites-the tips of neurons. Researchers can adjust the sensory range of neurons when moving the observable visual target of mice. In these special transgenic animals, the blue luminescent substance in the visual cortex activates neurons and further strengthens dendrites, and with the development of strengthened dendrites, the nearby dendrites tend to shrink, eventually leading to the enhancement or weakening of related synapses, showing a high degree of plasticity.
The researchers believe that "we can reprogram a single neuron in the whole brain and witness the diversity of molecular mechanisms in living tissues, so that these cells can integrate new functions through synaptic plasticity."
Many people may find it difficult to understand these technical terms and scientists' research meetings. However, this is the complexity of the brain. If the brain is very simple, then human beings may not be intelligent life. It is precisely because of the complexity and mystery of the human brain that human beings become intelligent life. Perhaps the brains of other intelligent life in the universe are as complex and mysterious as those of human beings.
The brain can use the remaining 10% to maintain a person's life, that is to say, our brain may be composed of countless individual organizations, which are interrelated and independent. Just like human groups, everyone is an independent human body, but everyone lives in a civilized group and helps each other. Even if most human beings disappear, the remaining human beings can continue to maintain the development of human civilization.
This is somewhat similar to the human brain. The brain has lost 90%, but the remaining 10% is still a relatively complete individual, which can also maintain a person's life, not the end of life. Through the continuous study of the human brain, scientists in the future will master more mysteries about the brain. Once man knows enough about the brain, he will be in complete control of himself. Although we are intelligent beings now, we know very little about ourselves. Birth, old age, illness and death seem to be a cycle of fate, but this is when human beings don't know much about themselves, especially the brain.
Once human beings fully understand the mystery of themselves and the brain, there will be no more diseases, even if they are sick, they can be completely cured, and there will be no more incurable diseases. The life span of human beings will also be greatly increased with the help of genetic technology. Living for another 500 years is a dream, but it may be very easy to realize in the future. Even if 500 years is just the beginning, it is not impossible to live for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, and even achieve the legendary immortality.
In the future, the human brain may be combined with artificial intelligence, which is the most important application in the future and will enter all walks of life and everyone's family. Although artificial intelligence is made by human beings, its ability far exceeds that of human beings in many aspects. However, if human beings want to surpass artificial intelligence in some aspects, such as data processing ability and memory ability, they need to implant smart chips.
Smart chips are implanted in the brain, and the human brain also has the function of a supercomputer, which can process data quickly and has superior memory and mass data storage capacity. In this way, the development of human civilization will be faster, and we can enter the interstellar civilization earlier and realize the era of universal exploration. Eventually it will become an advanced civilization in the universe, standing at the top of the civilization chain.
