The video tutorial explores the study of the cerebral cortex, focusing on understanding neural circuits. The research is conducted in two parts: observing neurons reacting to visual stimuli and mapping their connections using electron microscopy. The study creates a 3D model of neural circuits, providing insights into how the brain processes information. This research offers a new approach to understanding the complexity of brain circuits and contributes to solving the mystery of how the mind works.
