how neurons in the mouse neocortex form billions of synaptic connections
Researchers have combined two high profile, large-scale datasets to produce something completely new — a first draft model of the rules guiding neuron-to-neuron connectivity of a whole mouse neocortex. They generated statistical instances of the micro-connectome of 10 million neurons, a model spanning five orders of magnitude and containing 88 billion synaptic connections. A basis for the world’s largest-scale simulations of detailed neural circuits. …read more
