For example, the MindScope project at the Allen Institute in Seattle aims to map the mouse visual cortex. (newscientist.com)
Ultimately, MICrONS aims to map every neuron and synaptic connection within a 1 - cubic - millimeter chunk of tissue from the mouse visual cortex, and use those detailed brain connection maps to design computer architectures able to perform tasks that are easy for a brain but out of reach for artificial intelligence.

In support of the idea, the new investigation finds that in the mouse visual cortex, Arc rises and falls in parallel with visual plasticity. (sciencedaily.com)
