Neurons typically receive electric signals via dendrites—the thick tapered branches that extend from the neurons’ cell bodies—and transmit those signals along axons, the longer, thinner fibers that run between the cells. New techniques enable the detailed mapping of neurons and their connections, which will help researchers understand how our brains function. #PhysicsToday https://lnkd.in/ecyxu8WU

AI & Gaming founder from the future aiming to enhance, extend and explore existence.
"Presented here is a computationally intensive reconstruction of the ultrastructure of a cubic millimeter of human temporal cortex that was surgically removed to gain access to an underlying epileptic focus. It contains about 57,000 cells, about 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and about 150 million synapses and comprises 1.4 petabytes. Our analysis showed that glia outnumber neurons 2:1, oligodendrocytes were the most common cell, deep layer excitatory neurons could be classified on the basis of dendritic orientation, and among thousands of weak connections to each neuron, there exist rare powerful axonal inputs of up to 50 synapses.
