An Overview of Plasticity Mechanisms in the Brain (Part One) - 10 November, 2021
Channel: Numenta
Date: 2021-11-17

In part one of the presentation, visiting scientist Jeremy Forest gives a brief overview of the plasticity mechanisms in the brain. He goes over how neurons interact and change over time with different plasticity events in dendritic spines, and covers topics such as molecular mechanisms, synaptic activations, and structural plasticity. 

Throughout the presentation, Jeremy points out the biological mechanisms, such as time-scale interactions, that could potentially be modeled in AI systems and bring many benefits, such as continual learning and efficiency. 

Jeremy talks about the dynamic neuronal activities that impact plasticity mechanisms in part two.

Numenta is leading the new era of machine intelligence. Our deep experience in theoretical neuroscience research has led to tremendous discoveries on how the brain works. We have developed a framework called the Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence that will be fundamental to advancing the state of artificial intelligence and machine learning. By applying this theory to existing deep learning systems, we are addressing today’s bottlenecks while enabling tomorrow’s applications.
