THE BRAIN INSIDE OUT: MAPPING

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM’S WIRING

The relationship between anatomy and function has inspired scientists to

tediously map individual neuronal connections in the brain. Combining power-

ful computational algorithms with advanced serial electron microscopy,

researchers have embarked on a herculean task to map every single

connection in different animal brains.

In this virtual symposium brought to you by The Scientist, an expert panel

will discuss their efforts to chart billions of neuronal connections, which

provides unparalleled insights into neuronal cell biology, signal processing,

and behavior.
