> The brain fragment was taken from a 45-year-old woman when she underwent surgery to treat her epilepsy. It came from the cortex, a part of the brain involved in learning, problem-solving and processing sensory signals.

Wonder how they figured out which fragment to cut out.

I imagine they determined the focus of the seizures by electrical techniques.

I worry this might make the sample biased in some way.

Considering the success of this work, I doubt this is the last such cubic millimeter to be mapped. Or perhaps the next one at even higher resolution. No worries.

A similar dataset already exists in mouse cortex. More are underway in the field.
