Connectomics at cellular precision

AbstractThe complete mapping of neuronal circuits in at least parts of brains has received substantial attention recently. Methodological breakthroughs have made the imaging of ever larger tissue blocks realistic using 3 ‑dimensional electron microscopy. Analysis of such data, however, is still limiting the neuroscientific insights obtainable from cellular connectomics data. What is the state of this scientific field, which insights have been obtained, which are in reach? This brief overview summarizes the current knowledge in cellular connectomics.
