Is this the dawn of a new age of discovery? Scientists in America have made a map of a tiny part of the human brain, and their findings are mind-blowing.
Stunning research reveals how little we know
Spectacular: Scientists modelled a cubic millimetre of brain revealing new patterns and links (above). Glossary
Neuroscientist - Neuroscience is the study of the brain and nervous system. There is a lot of overlap between neuroscience and psychology, but neuroscientists tend to focus more on the way that nerves function.
Microscope - An object that uses lenses to make very small objects look much bigger.
Neurons - Neurons, also known as nerve cells, are cells in the nervous system that use chemical or electrical signals to transmit information throughout the body.
Tendrils - Something that is thin and curly — often the stem-like parts of climbing plants that attach themselves to walls.
Duration - The length of time something lasts.
Infinite - Limitless or endless. An amount impossible to count.
Telescopes - Devices which makes things look nearer than they are.
Artificial Intelligence - Artificial intelligence, or “AI,” is the ability for a computer to think and learn. With AI, computers can perform tasks that are typically done by people, including processing language, problem-solving, and learning.
