Scientists Unveil Most Detailed Map of the Human Brain Ever Created

Source: Google News - HealthOver the past decade, Harvard researchers have been feeding a 1-cubic-millimeter piece of human brain into a $6 million device that slices it into impossibly thin slivers. Then, using images of those slivers taken by electron microscopy, they have painstakingly created the most-detailed digital map, or "connectome," of the human brain ever created. On Thursday, the results were published in the prestigious journal Science.
