Building a map of the complex human brain and its approximately 100 billion individual neurons is no easy task. As a precursor to tackling that

Scientists have created detailed maps of the brain area that controls movement in mice, monkeys and people. The maps could help explain human ailments like Alzheimer's and Lou Gehrig's disease.

It takes billions of cells to make a human brain, and scientists have long struggled to map this complex network of neurons.

Brain maps are used by scientists to know what makes it different and similar to the brains of animals that are used in their researches.
