LiveScience.com - Mapping the connections among brain cells could someday prove as
revolutionary as mapping the human genome. But tracing each synaptic
connection between neurons - essentially a manual effort so far - has
proven painstakingly slow. To approach a thorough mapping, researchers
will have to develop a computer-automated process.
