Image removed by sender.Dr. Sebastian SeungDr. Sebastian Seung <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=3WcVM.oSNM9mbyh&b=nIOmtlhDCoSFahNT6w1fBg> (MIT) is an ambitious young scientist; his goal is to unravel the entire wiring diagram of the human brain. Considering that it took over a decade to determine the wiring diagram for the roundworm C elegans, which has a mere 302 neurons, it is clear that scientists can't leap directly to the 80 billion neuron human brain. Even so, in his new book Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are, Seung makes a very good argument for the value of this long term project. In Episode 85 <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=3WcVM.oSNM9mbyh&b=BtedKtgCRWbc_UlZnKDuPQ> of the Brain Science Podcast I talked with Dr. Seung both about the challenges and potential benefits of this work.
