The largest high-resolution brain connectivity map ever achieved by Google using a 3D model of 20 million synapses connecting 25,000 neurons in the Drosophila brain with scientists at the Janelia Farm Research Campus in Virginia. Released.
This brain connection map is also called the Connectome. Of course, this does not cover all Drosophila brain connections, and only a third has been interpreted. The specific manufacturing method is to first cut a Drosophila brain into a thickness of 20 microns and photograph it with an electron microscope. Then, 50 trillion 3D pixels are created using an algorithm. In addition, manpower correction is also added to the 3D map production.
Of course, there is also a discussion on whether this field of Connectomics is practical. However, there is an opinion that it usually takes time for such advanced technology to be applied to science. Anyone can view and download this data through the Internet .
