Connectomics, the ambitious field of study that seeks to map the intricate network of animal brains, is undergoing a growth spurt. Within the span of a decade, it has journeyed from its nascent stages to a discipline that is poised to (hopefully) unl
SmartEM technology integrates AI with electron microscopy, enabling detailed nanoscale mapping of brain networks, which could illuminate the mysteries of cognition and neuropathologies, while also accelerating and broadening the scope of connectomics research and clinical pathology.
Researchers at Sinai Health have used a tiny worm to track how an animal’s brain changes throughout its lifetime, shedding new light on how human brains develop.
