"Neuron" integrates the neuron perspective

From standing up to deciding what to eat for dinner, every function of the brain involves the interaction of neurons

Neurons use electrical and chemical signals to transmit information throughout the body.

Historically, two methods have been used to study the interaction between neurons: pulse number correlation and dimensionality reduction

Matt Smith, associate professor at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience, said: "Through this research, we provide a common language and a way to navigate between the two methods

In order to build a bridge between these two methods, the research team established a specific mathematical and empirical relationship between the correlation between the number of pulses and the overall covariance measurement based on dimensionality reduction

Akash Umakantha, a graduate student at the Neuroscience Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, is the co-first author of the paper.

Umakantha pointed out: "People have different ways to see the world, and there are different ways to explain the activity of brain neurons

In general, these concepts provide people in different neuroscience fields with a wide range of meanings and relevance, and they have different ways to describe what is happening in the brain

Byron Yu, professor of biomedical engineering, electronic and computer engineering, said: “Linking these methods can promote more collaboration and allow ideas to spread in the field of neuroscience, so that we will not always think about problems in one way
