The 3D blueprints show more than two miles of neural wiring, close to 100,000 nerve cells, and about 500 million synapses.

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from "The Matrix," scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date—a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic centimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the ...
