Previous models often only focused on cooperation, resulting in generic models that don&#8217;t fully capture the unique neural blueprint of each person.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Importance of Competition:<\/strong> The most realistic whole-brain models allowed regions to either excite or suppress each other. These models performed better at mimicking the known cognitive circuits, indicating that competition is essential for flexible brain function.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Potential for Translational Neuroscience:<\/strong> Since the principles of competitive interactions hold across humans and other mammals, it could provide a more reliable bridge between animal models and human applications in treatment testing, potentially reducing the &#8220;lost in translation&#8221; effect.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Implications for Future AI:<\/strong> The study\u2019s insights into the brain\u2019s competitive and cooperative dynamics could inform the development of more human-like artificial intelligence, potentially leading to more accurate and personalized AI models.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to build a digital \u2018twin\u2019 of the human brain \u2013 what existing models overlook&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":201283,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/727376\/original\/file-20260331-69-p6iaub.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&rect=0%2C112%2C4096%2C2048&q=45&auto=format&w=1356&h=668&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-201282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201282"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201282"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":201284,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201282\/revisions\/201284"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
