We Finally Have the Complete Wiring Diagram of a Brain. Here's What It Tells Us.
Imagine holding a map of every street, alley, and footpath in New York City — all 100,000-plus connections, down to the smallest synapse. Now imagine running traffic through that map to see where the jams form, where cars flow freely, and which intersections secretly control the whole system. That, in essence, is what neuroscientist Stavros Therianos has just done with a brain.
