From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

“We are describing a kind of Google map or blueprint of this grain of sand. In the future, we can use this to compare the brain wiring in a healthy mouse to the brain wiring in a model of ...
