Brain Mapping: A new map, a decade in the works, shows structures of the brain in far greater detail than ever before, providing neuroscientists with a guide to its immense complexity.
Recently, new and improved mapping technologies are becoming more useful in the fields of neuroscience. Mapping technology can allow scientists to create a detailed simulation of the human brain. Specifically, Europe's Human Brain Project and the U.S.Brain Initiative have taken in the ideas of transforming modern mapping technology. These technologies are able to reveal three dimensional images with 50 times greater the resolution than previous creations. These improvements in neuroscience technology have allowed scientists to accurately see neuron structures, nerve fibers, and many other hidden complexities that are inside the human brain. The reformed "supercomputers" can show details as little as 20 micrometers. In the future, scientists hope to improve the supercomputers so that they can view pieces of tissues and cells as small as 1 micrometer.
this is revolutionary. wow. so cool.
