Creating the most detailed brain maps

Mission

Map the brain. Understand it.

Humanity doesn't know how the brain works, and so can't cure, enhance, or imitate it.

We are solving this by creating the most detailed brain maps and using them for brain simulation and diagnosis. Beginning with small organisms, we aim to enable in silico drug development and breakthrough treatments for brain diseases.


Approach

From tissue to insight

01

Scan

We image brain tissue at nanometre resolution, capturing its structure down to individual synapses.

Level of resolution
mm~nm
02

Map

We turn the imaging data into the most detailed digital brain maps: every neuron and every connection.

Level of biophysical detail
WiringMoonshot
03

Simulate & diagnose

We run the maps as simulations to test drugs, understand disease and support diagnosis.

Treatments Diagnosis Cognition

Roadmap

Where we're going

Step 1

Build the maps

Develop nanometre-scale imaging and reconstruction to produce the most detailed neural maps.

Step 2

Make breakthroughs

Map the zebrafish brain end to end and run drug-like simulations on it.

Step 3

Productionise

Scale to mice and humans, and bring our maps, simulations and diagnostics to labs, clinics and drug-discovery teams.
