Today, E11 Bio announces PRISM, our first step towards making brain connectivity mapping and reconstruction (connectomics) radically faster, cheaper and more accessible. This technology will allow brain researchers to affordably chart out millions of connections between individual cells in entire brains. We anticipate PRISM will be essential for scaling up whole-brain connectomics from small brains (e.g. flies[1]), to the large brains of mice and ultimately humans — a critical need for making more human-like AI, treating brain disorders, and even simulating our own brain circuitry.
