In 1979, famed molecular biologist, Francis Crick, stated that it would be "[impossible] to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are ...

NEW YORK (AP) - Scientists have created a detailed, three-dimensional wiring diagram of the mouse brain. That should help researchers seek clues about how the human brain works in health and disease.

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...
