Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.
The human brain uses up 20% of the energy we consume.
Socially isolated people have poorer cognition, including in memory and reaction time.
Human brains seem to be wired differently to those of chimps or macaques.
