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.

Neuroscientists and computer scientists from Princeton University, the Allen Institute and Baylor College of Medicine have just released a collection of data that marries a 3-D wiring diagram with the ...

Imagine for a moment if we could build a complete wiring diagram of a human brain – to map in detail every one of the hundred trillion or so synapses and roughly hundred billion neurons together ...
