'Inspired' by mouse watching clips from 'The Matrix', scientists create largest functional map of a brain
Scientists have created the most detailed functional brain map to date by tracing connections between 84,000 neurons in a mouse's visual cortex. The research, which involved showing the mouse movie clips, produced a 3D reconstruction of neural circuitry. This publicly available dataset offers a valuable resource for exploring brain function and understanding disorders like Alzheimer's and autism.
