| Video Discription | The brain has around a hundred-billion neurons, with a hundred trillion connections between them. Until now, researchers studying how the brain works have had two ways to investigate all those connections: they can probe one or a few cells to map their connections directly, or they can do a scan that shows how millions of neurons behave on average in a part of the brain. Michael Roukes takes us on a tour of the next generation of brain mapping techniques, using nanosensors to map thousands — or even tens or hundreds of thousands — of cells at once. This could identify computational systems in the brain, much like individual chips in a computer, and maybe even help us to learn the brain's programming language!
