[3] The Cox team aimed to build a three-dimensional map of the neural connections within the source tissue block using reconstructions from electron micrographs.
[3] Technology and infrastructure for storing petabyte-scale volumetric data, including a cloud-based database, bossDB,[4] were developed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.
[1][2] Cox's team attempted to build a three dimensional mapping of the actual neural connections, based on fine electron micrographs.
[1] Tolias's team took a data-driven approach, assuming the brain creates statistical expectations about the world it sees.
[6] The primary data has been collected, processed, and submitted for publication: "Functional connectomics spanning multiple areas of mouse visual cortex".
