Neuroscientists have a lot of data on the brain—we can see it, take pictures of it, study it. But for all the data, the brain’s workings are still relatively unknown.

A new paper published in Nature Methods might help neuroscientists better understand the structure of the brain and how it functions, according to research scientists from Google. A Google team trained an artificial neural network, the kind of AI perfect for automating simple human tasks, to sift through 663 GB of images of a zebra finch’s brain and construct a 3D model of every neuron and synapse.
