AI-based image processing and analysis are used to reconstruct nearly every cell and connection in a small brain tissue sample.
The sample, one-millionth of the total human brain, reveals intricate layers and clusters of neurons.
Surprising findings include highly connected neuron pairs, mirrored cell clusters, and rare occurrences like axon whorls.
The dataset, freely available to researchers, aims to advance understanding of brain function and neurological disorders.
