Demonstrating just how extraordinary of an organ the human brain is, a team of scientists with Google and Harvard University has just conjured up an amazing color-coded map of nearly 4,000 incoming axons connecting to a single neuron.

This stunning browsable 3D map which represents just one millionth of the cerebral cortex has been composed using 225 million separate images and a super computer-crunching 1.4 petabytes of data. The main goals of this project were to produce a novel resource for studying human brains and to improve and scale the underlying connectomics technologies.
