Blue Brain Project Digital Reconstruction of the Rat Somatosensory Cortex Microcircuitry
On 8 October 2015, Henry Markram and colleagues at the Blue Brain Project published a detailed computational reconstruction of 31,000 neurons and 37 million synapses in a 0.29 mm³ column of juvenile rat somatosensory cortex, creating the first large-scale digital model of a mammalian cortical microcircuit.
