Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic centimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.
From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the brain.
Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections.
Neuroscientists have mapped the largest wiring diagram of a mammalian brain, revealing insights into its structure and function. Using mouse cerebral cortex tissue, they recorded neural activity, highlighting neuron connections.
