研究人员表示,这些研究成果可能表明了未来的技术。例如,一些工程师已经以网格细胞这一概念为灵感,开发出了用来控制机器人或自主潜艇的新算法。麻省理工学院的马修·威尔逊(Matthew Wilson),他的实验室已经一次性估量了众多脑细胞,制作了引人注目的视频,展现了小鼠在迷宫中移动时位置神经元的反应情况。 The researchers said these findings may indicate future technology. For example, some engineers have been inspired by the concept of grid cells to develop new algorithms for controlling robots or autonomous submarines. Matthew Wilson of MIT, whose lab has measured numerous brain cells at once, made compelling videos that show the neurons’ response at the location of the mouse as it moves through the maze.
