ScienceAlert — May 9, 2024, 10:00 PM UTC
Summary: A team of scientists reconstructed a millimeter-sized segment of the human brain, containing 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses, and 230 millimeters of ultrafine veins, using 1.4 petabytes of data. This detailed project aims to understand brain function and disorders better. The reconstruction, named H01, revealed new insights, such as glia outnumbering neurons 2:1. The data and reconstruction are freely available online.
