Tiny model. Big impact. 🐭

The mouse brain holds powerful clues to human brain health. Our researchers use advanced tracing, imaging, informatics, and AI to map its cells, circuits, and connections in extraordinary detail.

Some parts of the brain are hard to capture on MRI. In the brainstem and the region just above the eyes, scans that trace the brain’s wiring can return with missing nerve-fiber information 🧠 🩻

Our researchers, led by co-first authors Shuo Huang and Lujia Zhong and senior author Yonggang Shi, PhD, built a generative AI model that estimates what belongs in those gaps. In scans from nearly 2,000 adults, it produced more complete maps of a major movement pathway.
