Google released the most comprehensive brain scan ever

Scientists at Google and Janelia Research Campus performed the most detailed brain scan ever achieved.

The project, conducted in partnership with the US-based technology giant Google and Janelia Research Campus, conducted the most comprehensive brain scan to date. 

According to the report in The Verge, a relatively small scale group of neurons can be mapped extensively with this method.  

The project includes detailed mapping for more than 25 thousand neurons in about a third of a fruit fly's brain, containing more than 20 million synapses. 

Contrary to conventional methods, the team used to slice the brains of flies into 20-micron-thick layers and bombard each layer with electron bombing, then used the data to produce a 3D image consisting of trillions of 3D pixels. 

According to the statement, the team had been working for 2 years to implement this project.
