Mouse Brain Wiring DiagrA global collaboration of researchers has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date.
WASHINGTON - Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an ...
The result includes more than half a billion connections across one cubic millimeter of brain tissue, including the primary visual cortex and the retina. “What is unique about this data is that it ...
Two of the goals of that program are to generate a detailed wiring diagram for the complete mouse brain, and to map long-distance connections between different areas of the human brain.
