The 3D blueprints display more than two miles of neural wiring, close to 100,000 nerve cells, and about 500 million synapses — all contained in a piece of mouse brain no bigger than a grain of sand.

A special section on Nature’s website highlights research from the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network relating to the mouse brain-cell atlas, including the nine papers published today as well ...

Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand ... in time if we thought we’re going to lose more than a section in a row.” If that happened, da Costa said the experiment ...

This image provided by the Allen Institute on April 8, 2025, shows a digital representation of neurons in a section of a mouse's brain, part of a project to create the largest map to date of brain ...

The team expects to generate about 10,000 terabytes of data for their 10-square-millimeter mouse brain section; 50 times that amount of data would be generated for a whole mouse brain. Over the ...
