Artificial brain research has made progress
     On July 23, 2009, Henry Markram, a professor from Lausanne Switzerland Institute of Technology Markham, announced that the "Blue Brain Project" Research has achieved breakthrough progress. Researchers extracted nearly 1 million copies of rat brain tissue in vivo and installed the nerve sensors for each tissue in order to investigate these tissues on how the brain neurons receive and release signals. Currently, the "Blue Brain Project" group had completed neural computing of the human brain, and had drawn up a 3D simulation of neuronal activity diagram. He predicted that within 10 years artificial brain could be developed, which can bring the Gospel to nearly 2 billion of brain injury patients.

Long-term memory brain imaging
     Kelsey Martin, a biochemist from the University of California Los Angeles, together with his colleagues, has made some research on the in the process of memory formation for "California sea hare”, sea clam snail nerve cells. They capture long-term memory brain imaging for the first time and demonstrate that new proteins are produced which makes a long-term memory.

Special Report on Brain-like Computer
     After 60 years of development, the computing speed of the computer reaches 100 trillion times, but with extremely low intelligence. The Combination of high-performance of machine and high intelligence of human has become a highly efficient and effective way to explore information processing. The research and breakthroughs of brain-like computer will significantly strengthen China's economic and social sustainable development, national security and national defense construction. Professor Zhongzhi Shi will give a special report on brain-like computer on the 4th floor in Institute of computing technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences at 3:30 pm on May 14th, 2009.
