This project is aimed at defining the neuronal blueprint that forms the brain connectome, a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain.<\/p>\n<p>With the new grant, Anton said he will \u201calso develop new in-vivo embryonic brain imaging methods that may help us better understand some of the brain developmental abnormalities underlying a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders,
