北京大学的中国研究人员发现，哺乳动物大脑中的视交叉上核（SCN）——被称为中枢昼夜节律起搏器的区域——使用群体决策机制来编码时间。 Chinese researchers from Peking University discovered that the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a mammal's brain region known as the central circadian pacemaker, encodes time using a group decision-making mechanism. 研究团队利用高速双视角双光子显微镜对多达 9,000 个神经元的钙离子信号进行成像，以 900 人的队列规模以 99% 的准确率预测每小时时间，为人类生物钟系统提供了新的见解。 Using a high-speed dual-view two-photon microscope, the team imaged calcium ion signals from up to 9,000 neurons to predict hourly time with 99% accuracy at a cohort size of 900, providing new insights into human biological clock systems.
