It\u2019s a bit like seeing a world in a grain of sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except the view, in this case, is the exquisite detail inside a bit of human brain<\/a> about half the size of a grain of rice. Held in that minuscule object is a complex collective of cells, blood vessels, intricate patterns and biological puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists had hints of these mysteries in earlier peeks at this bit of brain<\/a> (SN: 6\/29\/21<\/em>). But now, those details have been brought into new focus by mapping the full landscape of some 57,000 cells, 150 million synapses and their accompanying 23 centimeters of blood vessels, researchers report in the May 10 Science<\/em>. The full results, the scientists hope, may lead to greater insights into how the human brain works.<\/p>\n\n\n
