Mapping a brain

Abstract

Alfie Gleeson and Abigail Sawyer explore the latest advances in high-throughput sequencing for neuroscience on the quest to map out the brain. High-throughput sequencing technology has enabled research centers across the globe to begin mapping neural connections and deciphering neural wiring circuits. From huge initiatives in the USA to smaller, but no less important research groups in Europe, the quest to map the brain is becoming a worldwide research goal.
