Part of what is needed is something like a wiring diagram of the brain that lays out which collections of neurons are communicating with other collections of neurons.

Understanding how the brain works is one of science's greatest mysteries. "Except for a simple roundworm, there is still no circuit diagram of a complete animal brain, let alone a human brain ...

Most comprehensive wiring diagram of the mammalian brain to date Date: April 2, 2014 Source: Allen Institute for Brain Science Summary: Researchers have published the first comprehensive, large ...

Many neuroscientists think that the key to understanding brain function is to map out all of the brain’s neurons and connections — creating a ‘connectome’ or ‘wiring diagram’.

Combined with the recordings of brain activity, the result is the largest wiring diagram and functional map of the brain to date, containing more than 200,000 cells, four kilometers of axons (the ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue ...

Network neuroscience could revolutionize how we understand the brain—and change our approach to neurological and psychiatric disorders.

This image shows how parts of a mouse’s brain are connected. Provided by the Allen Institute for Brain Science, it is the first brain-wide wiring diagram for a mammal at such a level of detail.

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map that you can zoom into like you're looking at Google Maps.
