My naive perspective is that the foundational properties of the brain are probably really similar between mice and humans. For example, we have put human brain cells into rats and the brain cells have done... something.
The chemistry is probably different in a bunch of ways "rats evolved to use this hormone to feel X, we use it to tell us Y" or some other such thing, but structurally I'd imagine that neurons function similarly.
Anyone know more?
- convolvatron 3y agoeven if there are structural differences, just the fact that we can establish a loose isomorphism between our knowledge about computational models and the cognitive processes of any living creature seems like a really profound step forward for cognitive science if it holds up. there isn't any issue about clinical relevance
- insanitybit 3y agoI agree
- chaxor 3y agoLack of Wernicke's and semantic representation similarity is a big difference for one
