"THE COMPUTING BRAIN: Explaining cognition through a realistic 
whole-brain anatomically constrained-reservoir model"
címmel.
Abstract:
The perhaps most important unsolved problem in neuroscience is how 
the brain survives in a complex world by performing a rich repertoire 
of computation on a minimal energy budget. The brain is much better at 
adapting to the multiplicity of stimuli and outcomes than current 
generations of computers, artificial neural deep learning and reservoir
model architectures. Yet, at first glance the brain appears to use a 
fixed anatomical architecture to perform the necessary huge variety of 
computations. But evolution’s boldest trick is that in fact the brain’s 
effective connectivity is constantly being updated through 
neuromodulation to allow the rich repertoire of computation. Inspired by 
this, we created a whole-brain model using empirical neurotransmitter 
maps modulating the
underlying local regional dynamics. This NEMO (neurotransmission modulated)
whole-brain model is able to flexibly compute the full task repertoire 
and associated functional connectivity of the neuroimaging data from 971 
healthy participants. For each individual we defined a measure of 
‘brain computability’ as the fitting of the NEMO whole-brain model to 
all tasks performed by the individual. Importantly, brain computability 
correlates with both behavioural performance on individual tasks and 
with a general behavioural measure of intelligence. Overall, our 
proposed unifying NEMO framework offers a natural way to sculpt 
different brain dynamics
in a fixed brain architecture to compute the rich repertoire of tasks 
required for surviving and thriving.
