"Navigate the brain in a way that was never before possible; fly through major brain pathways, compare essential circuits, zoom into a region to explore the cells that comprise it, and the functions that depend on it. The Human Connectome Project aims to provide an unparalleled compilation of neural data, an interface to graphically navigate this data and the opportunity to achieve never before realized conclusions about the living human brain."

Scientists at University College London have developed a technique that enables them to combine information about the function of neurons together with details of their synaptic connections, finding that connection probability is related to the similarity of visually driven neuronal activity.
