Researchers hope uprecedented images will allow study of abnormal connections in neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and depression
Scientists have created an unprecedented high-resolution map of the brain that reveals structures as small as those found in individual nerve cells.
They produced the 3D map from a compilation of images taken with nanoscale resolution, making it possible to pick out features measured in millionths of a millimetre.
