How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

Scientists have mapped the vision centers of a mouse brain, the largest and most detailed such rendering of neural circuits in a mammalian brain: bit.ly/4lfru2q

The brain as it's never been seen before. Scientists have created the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammal brain to date. @princetonneuro Johns Hopkins APL UW Graduate School @bcmfromthelabs @unigoettingen

Thanks to David A. Markowitz and R. Jacob Vogelstein for their visionary leadership of the now historic IARPA MICrONS program!

Eye candy alert. nature made an immersive landing page for MICrONS. nature.com/immersive/d428…

Still floors me that our MICrONS team opportunistically mapped the first fly brain as a side project, enabled by tools they had just developed for solving a much harder problem.

200,000 cells, 500 million synapses, and 5 km of neuronal wires. Check out the latest edition of nature featuring the microns project! I’m grateful to be a small part of this massive research collab. nature.com/immersive/d428…

not enough people are talking about the fact that this mouse also had the neural activity recorded in this brain region while it watched mad max fury road

The most exciting thing about the 10 papers in this cortex edition of Nature is that they are just the beginning of discoveries to be made using the microns dataset. Yours could be next microns-explorer.org
