Summary
The use of electron microscopy to understand the connectivity of the nervous system will revolutionize the field of neuroscience as it allows researchers to query circuits in a way that has never been possible before, by identifying and connecting each slice of the neural network in high resolution. While connectomics is necessary, it is not sufficient, and further research into specific neurons is required to understand how the brain functions.
