3-D map of the brain: Utah researchers develop software to better understand brain’s network of neurons

Oct. 22, 2015 The animal brain is so complex, it would take a supercomputer and vast amounts of data to create a detailed 3-D model of the billions of neurons that power it. But computer scientists and a professor of ophthalmology at the University of Utah have developed software that maps out a monkey’s brain […]
