Song He stood before the wall covered in data sheets, his eyes tightly shut.
In his mind, an enormous amount of data automatically assembled itself, like countless bricks pieced together to form a towering, massive structure!
The mathematical model was successfully constructed!
This model was a signal-transmission circuit built from the anatomical results of a specific region of a mouse's brain.
Song He opened his eyes and looked toward a data sheet in front of him. It showed the signal transmission actually measured by the instruments.
He compared the model in his mind with the model before him. A problem had emerged!
In theory, the two should have been identical, but they were drastically different, with extensive fluctuations!
Under normal circumstances, these fluctuations would be treated as errors and simply ignored. One could still produce beautiful figures for a paper.
But Song He had already performed this comparison over a hundred times!
The predictive model of the mouse brain region did not match reality!
The predictive model of the crab-eating macaque brain region did not match reality either!
If the brains of mice and crab-eating macaques were too complex, making anatomical or measurement errors unavoidable, and the mismatched data were merely errors, that explanation would still be passable.
But the experimental team had not only measured data from mice and crab-eating macaques. They had also measured nematodes and worms, as well as the mutant brain tissue cultivated by Xiang Xiaotong's team.
Caenorhabditis Elegans had only a mere 302 Neurons and 56 glial cells. It was as simple as could be, yet its predictive model still did not match reality!
Worms had only four movement patterns—forward, backward, swaying, and turning—and were controlled by 75 motor neurons among 95 Muscle Cells. Their brains had only 6,400 Chemical Synapses, yet the predictive model
