‘BigBrain’ Map, a Boon for Neuroscience, Studies Brain at Cellular Level

Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University have created a reconstruction of the complete human brain  that reveals the brain’s composition at the cellular level. The brain map allows scientists to zoom in on various brain cells the way Google Maps allows users to view locations at a street level.

“What this allows us is to further examine the interaction between different brain regions, the organization of the brain and how it observes behaviour — how it underpins how our brains work and how we function as human beings,” said one brain researcher. Click here to read the full story.
