"With 3,016 neurons and 548,000 connections, called synapses, the result is by far the most complex map of a whole brain ever made."
"Researchers have also mapped 25,000 neurons and 20 million synapses in the brain of an adult fruit fly, but this is still just a partial [map]"
"Human brains have an estimated 86 billion neurons and hundreds of trillions of synapses"
