What:

"Neuroscientists need a diagram of the brain's internal wiring, but mapping neural circuits isn't easy. The human neocortex houses dozens of types of neurons, all intimately intertwined. Each nerve cell is like a tree, with a head of fine branches -known as dendrites - that receive messages from several hundred to thousands of neighbors, and with a complex array of roots that pass the signals on to other cells across synapses "
