Why is the human brain difficult to study? How can brain science be applied to clinically solve various brain diseases? How do humans meet the future of artificial intelligence? On Dragon TV’s “Future China” broadcast on Monday night, April 4, neurobiologist Pu Muming, science recommender Chen Chen and the Science Youth League will discuss the “inner universe” – the mysterious brain.

The biggest difference between humans and other species is that they have an extremely complex and intelligent brain. The brain is an important organ of the human body. There are 100 billion nerve cells. Different nerve cells are connected with different neurons to form the neural network in the human brain, which directly affects human health. Common autism, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. are all major brain diseases, but humans know very little about how the brain works.
“Future China” invited neurobiologists, academician Pu Muming, academic director of the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligent Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences , he is an internationally renowned neurobiologist. After returning to China in 1999, he served as the director of the Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He led the team to expand the territory of the field of neuroscience in China, and made Chinese brain science occupy a place in international research. ProgramsAt the meeting, Academician Pu Muming introduced the “Science and Technology Innovation 2030 Major Project – Brain Science and Brain-inspired Research”, which was officially launched this year. Brain science and brain-inspired research are major directions for future efforts in the field of neuroscience.
Academician Pu Muming said that the research of brain science should firstly understand the brain and the neural mechanisms of brain cognitive function The basis for constructing a complete brain structure map. On this basis, further study the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases related to major cognitive dysfunction, establish early warning of brain diseases, especially early intervention for Alzheimer’s disease in the elderly, to prevent or delay Alzheimer’s disease disease onset, and make medical contributions to the elderly society.
Brain-like artificial intelligence is also a research field that has received attention. Drawing on the working principle of brain intelligence and the structural laws of brain networks, machine Intelligence can further enhance its ability to process diverse and complex information. Academician Pu Muming said that scientists had estimated that artificial intelligence could replace 90% of human work by 2075. However, the issue of technology ethics cannot be ignored in the future research on artificial intelligence of brain technology. How to make technology better serve human beings instead of completely replacing them, and how to maintain the balanced development of intelligent machines and human society, will be scientists and the general public need to think together The problem.
