From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

They estimated that microscopic wiring, if laid out, would measure more than 3 miles (5 kilometers). Importantly, matching up all that anatomy with the activity in the mouse’s brain as it watched ...
