What are current obstacles to generating a connectomic map of a whole mammalian brain at nanometer scale? 2. What impt questions could we answer with n=1? n=2? 3. What new analysis capabilities would be needed to make sense of whole brain data? Responses : David himself knows much or all of the below, as he supported a lot of the relevant work through the IARPA MICRONS program (thank you), and I have
