Can we treat brain disorders by restoring neural connections?
For centuries, neuroscientists could only guess. But connectomics—a method seeking to create a 3D model of every neural connection in the brain—is moving closer to providing answers.
E11 Bio is at the forefront...🧵
Our work in connectomics is featured in @asimovpress.bsky.social! We’re building new tools to map the brain with greater precision and scale!
