Computer Simulation Models Neuron Growth





Scientists developed a computer simulation that models neuron growth in the brain, which could support advancements in neurode generative disease research. The simulation accurately replicated real neuron growth patterns in the hippocampus, a brain region key to memory.

Built using BioDynaMo software, the model uses Approximate Bayesian Computation to closely match real-life neuron data, improving its precision. Though the simulation has shown success with specific neuron types, it may need further adjustments for broader applications.

Researchers hope this technology can lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treating conditions like Alzheimer’s. The model’s success points to the potential of digital simulations in enhancing brain research.

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey.

Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to neurodegenerative disease research and, someday, stem cell research that helps regenerate brain tissue.


The research team used a technique called Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC), which helps fine-tune the model by comparing the simulation with real neuron growth. This process ensures that the artificial brain accurately reflects how neurons grow and form connections in real life.

The simulation was tested using neurons from the hippocampus—a critical region of the brain involved in memory retention. The team found that their system successfully mimicked the growth patterns of real hippocampal neurons, showing the potential of this technology to simulate brain development in fine detail.
