Mapping the human brain: past, present, and future

Trends Neurosci. 1995 Nov;18(11):471-4. doi: 10.1016/0166-2236(95)92766-j.

Abstract

The ability to map functional activity in the living human brain has rekindled interest in the organization of human neural circuitry specifically and in animal neural circuitry generally. Faced with incredible complexity, researchers are turning to the power of computer graphics for two- and three-dimensional interactive mapping, to the mathematical modeling of dynamics in proposed circuits, and to databases with powerful discovery engines.
