This is the most detailed wiring diagram of the human brain ever seen

Researchers from Harvard and Google have created the most detailed wiring diagram of the human brain that the world has ever seen.

It shows cells that wrap around themselves, pairs of cells that seem mirrored, and egg-shaped “objects” that, according to the research, defy categorization.

The brain map is expected to help drive forward scientific research, from understanding human neural circuits to potential treatments for disorders.

The Harvard Lichtman lab plans to continue its collaboration with Google to “factor this rendering up another scale of a thousand ” by studying a whole mouse brain.

Berger anticipates that advancements could be made in understanding and treating mental conditions such as schizophrenia.

The research lab is also working on more human brain samples, to expand research into other regions.
