 on neuroplasticity and neurodegeneration and so I want to you have the brain initiative going on you have the connectome going on and so this is mapping all of the neural pathways and neural networks within our entire nervous system. This is very exciting teach us about why this is so important. So the brain is very special in many ways it's one of things that separates us from other animals their ability to to think about the past the future to you know it's not just memory it's our ability to to think out of the box to into it to emote to show sympathy and all of that's we could another thing makes it unique is you can replace almost any part of your body I mean as we go into the future organ transplants will become very easy but it's hard to place certain parts of your brain that are responsible for the memories make you you so we want to learn more about how that's encoded and we want to do it inexpensively something that could be used clinically where we know the connection of every you know every neuron might be connected to a thousand other neurons you know 36 billion neurons each with a thousand connections or big range and and whether those connections are inhibitory or excitatory we can map out this at molecular single molecule level so we could really go down to a resolution of the synapse and we and we have a big government project from my ARPA called the microns project that it aims for synapse revolution resolution connectome plus we can find out what the lineage of the cells were you know what cells begat you know what precursors be gave me came those cells where they migrated and what and what their expression state is which again is relevant to understanding it and if you had to that kind of deep understanding you could reconstruct it if it got broken yeah potentially I mean we're gonna start with very simple things like dopamine and Parkinson's but eventually we'll get to more be able to reconstruct more and more complicated connectomes
