We don’t fully understand how neural networks form—that is, how neurons evolve from a few disconnected individual cells into the highly organized and closely related regions of the brain that control the body and mind. To know the brain, you have to observe the brain. It’s difficult to watch neurons interacting in their native habitat, but what if we could non-invasively observe and quantify network formation outside the brain?
