    TLDR:

    Scientists have mapped one square-millimeter of mouse brain using newly developed technology that allows for neural reconstruction at scale. Mapping this level of neurons was previously impossible. This amount of brain contains about 1 petabyte (1000 terabytes) of memory capacity.

    “The resulting data set includes 200,000 cells and 523 million connections in the primary visual cortex and surrounding areas of a mouse.”
