I'm not sure that's entirely true. Scientists have successfully sliced, imaged, and analyzed (i.e. determined the connectome for) the entire brain of very small animal, the common fruit fly, Drosophila. We're still a long way from turning that into a virtual simulation of the creature, but it's a significant step towards it.

The idea of eventually creating a virtual simulation of the human brain, or even human body, modeling environmental variables and all, totally fascinates me. Are there any sources you’d recommend for someone looking to learn more about this?
