For more than a decade, Google Research has been using AI to precisely map the connections between every cell in the brain in an endeavor called connectomics. Now, in collaboration with the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), we’ve helped develop a new method for brain mapping, called LICONN, that could make connectomics significantly more accessible. This work could help expedite new discoveries about the brain and neurological disease.

AI could one day help neuroscientists predict activity in the human brain, just like language models can predict the next word in a sentence. After more than a decade of research into the neural connections in the brains of various organisms, Google Research, Harvard University and HHMI Janelia have created the Zebrafish Activity Prediction Benchmark (ZAPBench), a dataset and benchmark that can help researchers more accurately model brain activity in larval zebrafish.
