What can we learn about the 🧠 brain if we map it at a nanometer resolution?
In my latest 🎙️ podcast, I talk to Jeff Litchman (from Harvard University) about their project to map human brain tissue and what insights we get from it.

1/ They map just 1mm cube of human brain and revealed 1.6 petabytes worth of data, which can fill 3000+ laptop hard drives.
And. 1 mm3 of the human brain which is 0.0001% of the entire brain. The human brain is truly staggering in its richness and complexity and we explore that.

2/ If you want to read the paper with details from the project, here's the link to it biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
In it, you'll find beautiful pictures of the human brain such as this one where one neuron is making several contacts with another.

3/ The team has released all data and images online.
You can explore the detailed morphology of different cells within the human brain here.
