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 ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

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.

It is the first time a wiring diagram has been created ... we won’t have a basic understanding of what goes right in a healthy brain or what goes wrong in disease.” Register now for one ...
