Brain simulated, molecule by molecule

Story source : BBC Science & Environment
A detailed simulation of a small region of a brain built molecule by molecule has been constructed and has recreated experimental results from real brains.
Researchers have modeled the neocortical column - a unit of the mammalian brain known as the neocortex which is responsible for higher brain functions and thought.

Scaling the simulation to the human brain is only a matter of money, according to the project head.

The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to reverse engineer the brain, to explore how it functions and to serve as a tool for neuroscientists and medical researchers.

Typically, computer simulations of the brain attempt to code in the brain's thinking process. The Blue Brain project attempts to do the reverse, to observe the cellular level interactions as the brain functions.

Quite a bit of activity in this field. Here are some resources on understanding brain simulation. http://www.nsi.edu/index.php?page=nrp_scientific_programs
