The Max Planck research group would now like to image a whole brain with the “serial block-face” microscope so that they can study the neuronal connections in the entire mouse brain.

Scientists have therefore long dreamed of mapping and then decoding the connectome, the circuit diagram of the brain. With the development of a special staining method, Shawn Mikula and Winfried Denk ...

Block diagrams are clear, simple diagrams showing all of the input, process and output elements that make up the system being designed. They are easy to read and show how the circuit will work.

Light fidelity (Li-Fi) is a widely adopted form of wireless communication that uses optical energy to verify device ...

This illustrates the general difficulty of acquiring and analysing three-dimensional ultrastructural data to determine neural circuit diagrams.
