different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain‚ which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2.75 pounds‚ and has a whitish-pink appearance.

The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project‚ founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland‚ is to study the brain’s architectural and functional principles. The project is headed by the founding director Henry Markram and co-directed by Felix Schürmann and Sean Hill. Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running
