The "Blue Brain" project in Switzerland aims to reveal the secrets of the brain, which remains a mystery to scientists.

The "Blue Brain" project simulates the mechanism of brain work in mice, through high-speed supercomputers, to create models of brain cells and tissues, ensuring experiments similar to direct laboratory experiments conducted on the brain of an organism, to accelerate the pace of research related to this vital organ.

The project was started in 2005 by Professor Henry Markram at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.

Among the participants in the project is the young Egyptian Marwan Abdellah, an Egyptian engineer and researcher who graduated from the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Systems at Cairo University, and obtained a master’s degree from it in this specialty, and he also holds a doctorate in the field of neurosciences.

About the project, Marwan told Sky News Arabia: "The brain is very complex in its structure and contains more than 100 billion cells in addition to neural tangles, which makes it difficult to analyze and understand its structure and function."

He continued, "Every year there are hundreds of thousands of researches on the brain, and the circumstances of each research are different from the other, which made the need to use technology to understand the brain more clearly."
