#synapses
I’ve made this video as an intuition pump for the density of #synapses in the #brain. This volume ~ grain of sand, has >3.2 million synapses (orange cubes). Peeling them away leaves only inputs on 2 #neurons. Zooming in, we see the synapses localized to the dendritic spines. #b3d

Since the '50 largest neurons' #connectome render with Amy Robinson Sterling FlyWire has made it's way around the world, I'm sharing an animated version. Including: Information flow from the ocelli, 50 largest #neurons, and a LOT of #synapses on one MASSIVE neuron. #neuroscience

My latest #neuro #visualization: An intuition pump on connectivity in the #brain ~75K #neurons in the #MICrONS mm³. I/O segregated by layers, function is columnar; the cortical column is the unit of cortical computation. A typical #pyramidal cell has over >10K input #synapses.
