The new map, which captures a cubic millimetre of a mouse’s visual cortex, will allow scientists to study brain function in extraordinary ... and took pictures of each slice.

The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and organization. Researchers believe this work could eventually lead to treatments for brain disorders like ...

They photographed each layer, used artificial intelligence to process the images into a digital 3D diagram ... While scientists had previously studied brain cells’ structure and function separately, ...

Those images were assembled in three dimensions ... Second, knowing precisely how neuronal wiring shapes brain function allows us to uncover fundamental mechanisms of cognition,” Mr Tolias ...
