Scientists Create High Definition 3D Model of Human Brain

Researchers have created the first high-resolution 3D digital model of the human brain, which they have called "Big Brain".

The reconstruction shows the brain's anatomy in microscopic detail, enabling researchers to see features smaller than a strand of hair.

It will be made freely available to neuroscientists to help them in their research.

The model has been published in the journal Science.

The research team had to slice 7,400 sections from the brain of a deceased 65-year-old woman, each half the thickness of a human hair
