In neuroanatomy, topographic map is the ordered projection of a sensory surface (like the retina or the skin) or an effector system (like the musculature) to one or more structures of the central nervous system. Topographic maps can be found in all sensory systems and in many motor systems.
Scientists have created a full map of an adult brain for the first time. The 3D model of all of the neurons of a fruit fly, and the 50 million connections between them, is the first time that ...
The cell is the basic unit of structure, function, and organization in all organisms. All cells come from preexisting, living cells. The Neuron doctrine postulates several elementary aspects of neurons: The brain is made up of individual cells (neurons) that contain specialized features such as dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.
Brain mapping can be conceived as a higher form of neuroimaging, producing brain images supplemented by the result of additional (imaging or non-imaging) data processing or analysis, such as maps projecting (measures of) behavior onto brain regions (see fMRI).
Now, after the lab team’s decade of close collaboration with scientists at Google, that data has turned into the most detailed map of a human brain sample ever created. 300 million images
Brain atlases are contiguous, comprehensive results of visual brain mapping and may include anatomical, genetic or functional features. [1] A functional brain atlas is made up of N {\displaystyle N} regions of interest , where these regions are typically defined as spatially contiguous and functionally coherent patches of gray matter.

Many brain structures that are responsive to visual input, including much of the visual cortex and visual nuclei of the brain stem (such as the superior colliculus) and thalamus (such as the lateral geniculate nucleus and the pulvinar), are organized into retinotopic maps, also called visual field maps.
