Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of the brain ever, thanks to IARPA’s MICrONS program. They mapped over 200,000 cells and 500 million synapses in a mouse’s visual cortex, linking structure and function at an unprecedented scale. This breakthrough could revolutionize our understanding of cognition, consciousness, and brain disorders.
