⇳ Description EyeWire is a game where volounteers map the 3D structure of neurons. By playing EyeWire, they help map the retinal connectome and contribute to the neuroscience research conducted by Sebastian Seung's Computational Neuroscience Lab at MIT. The connectome is a map of all the connections between cells in the brain. Rather than mapping an entire brain, we’re starting with a retina. ➠ Purpose Identify and Maps all the neurons in the retina. ? Research question

Subject
Natural sciences > Neurology (medicine)
Description
EyeWire is a game where volounteers map the 3D structure of neurons. By playing EyeWire, they help map the retinal connectome and contribute to the neuroscience research conducted by Sebastian Seung's Computational Neuroscience Lab at MIT. The connectome is a map of all the connections between cells in the brain. Rather than mapping an entire brain, we’re starting with a retina.
Purpose.
Identify and Maps all the neurons in the retina.
