Google and Harvard Team Up to Make the Most Detailed Map of Human Brain Ever #ArtTuesday

Date:

Brain Map 3

The mapped complexities of the human brain paint a pretty picture. Based on 1.4 petabytes of raw data, google scientists of mapped a cubic millimeter of the human brain. Originally published by Nature picked up by My Modern Met:

The human brain is one of the most significant objects in the world, and also one of the most complex. Yet that three pounds of tissue that mediates every moment of our lives, every decision, every reflex, every emotion, is essentially still a mystery to scientists. A recent joint effort by Harvard and Google research teams has extracted an incredible amount of data from just 3 mm of brain tissue. With machine-learning modeling, the team created the world’s highest-resolution brain tissue map. This brain map lets researchers see 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses, which are connections between the neurons.
