(Neuroscience) – Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex. Using cutting-edge microscopy, AI, and 3D reconstruction, researchers captured more than 200,000 cells and over 500 million connections.
The work revealed surprising principles of brain organization, including new inhibitory cell behaviors and network-wide coordination. This achievement provides a foundational tool for understanding brain function, intelligence, and neurological disorders. CONTINUE
