Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date - a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

Scientists at the Allen Institute, a research center in Seattle, then sliced that piece of the mouse’s brain into more than 25,000 layers, each a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair, ...

In the brain of adult mammals neural stem cells ensure that new nerve cells, i.e. neurons, are constantly formed. This process, known as adult neurogenesis, helps mice maintain their sense of smell.
