Progress Towards Mammalian Whole-Brain Cellular Connectomics
From the Intro:Since its inception, neuroscience has attempted to interpret brain organization and function without a detailed map of its total neuronal constituents and their complete inter-connectivities at the required synaptic resolution. Without such a map, a whole-brain cellular connectome, it is highly improbable that the precise neural computations underlying brain and behavior will ever be adequately understood.Read the full article here (Source: BrainTechSci)

High-resolution whole-brain staining for electron microscopic circuit reconstruction
An improved method for preparing mouse brains for electron microscopy allows reliable tracing of neurites and identification of synapses and appears suitable for whole-brain connectomic reconstruction.Full article at Nature Methods (Source: BrainTechSci)
