"Unidirectional Flow of Human Neuron Signals Discovered in New Study"

A study by Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin published in Science reveals that human neurons in the neocortex communicate in one direction, unlike in mice where signals tend to flow in loops. This unique wiring increases the efficiency and capacity of the human brain to process information, potentially impacting the development of artificial neural networks. The study, conducted using rare tissue samples and advanced technology, demonstrates that the forward-directed signal flow in human neurons is more powerful and resource-conserving, offering potential inspiration for refining AI networks.
