The researchers used high-throughput serial section electron microscopy to image ... "a 3D reconstruction of nearly every cell and process in the aligned volume." Each neuron had thousands of ...

A neuron has three main parts — a soma, dendrites and axon (top illustration) — to send and receive signals to other cells in a neuronal network, in a human brain (bottom illustration).

Researchers have mapped a tiny sliver of the human brain on an unprecedented scale, vividly detailing each brain cell, or ...
