Google and Harvard Unveil Detailed Digital Map of Human Brain, Revealing Previously Unknown Structures

Broke On: Thursday, 09 May 2024 Google and Harvard scientists unveil the most detailed digital map of the human brain yet, revealing new structures and connections that may explain how habits are formed. The collaboration, led by Jeff Lichtman, used advanced imaging techniques and AI algorithms to reconstruct a cubic millimeter of temporal cortex in 3D, discovering rare axon connections with up to 50 synapses. Strange structures like oppositely-pointing nerve cells and detouring axons were found, shedding light on how learned habits are etched into the brain's physical architecture. The ultimate goal is to map a mouse's neural wiring using significantly more data.
