MIT Neurotech: Connectomics

Описание: Explore MIT Neurotech at http://neurotech.eyewire.org

Your brain contains around 86 billion of them, networked through 100 trillion synapses. Connectomics is a map of them all.

Part 4 of 12 featuring Harvard Neuroscience Professor Jeff Lichtman. Google Glass Footage filmed at Lichtman Lab, Harvard http://lichtmanlab.fas.harvard.edu/
