Whole-Brain Ultrastructural Mapping
|
Mammalian whole-brain ultrastructural mapping is fast approaching reality, with the mouse brain being the first target. These types of maps will provide complete wiring diagrams of the whole brain, allowing for the first time an understanding of how the most complicated thing in the known universe is put together.
Rapid progress is being made. Stay tuned. Brain Preservation ContestWe have entered the Brain Preservation Contest, whose first goal is optimal whole-brain ultrastructural preservation in the mouse.
