A complete map of all the connections in an entire mammalian brain may be in sight. Allen Institute researchers have just launched three new projects to construct large, detailed maps of neuronal connections in sections of the mouse and macaque brains, with an eye toward creating full wiring diagrams of these animals' brains in the future.

The projects are aimed at helping to unravel the mysteries of brain function and disease by uncovering the logic behind the brain's neural code.
