A fragment of human brain, mapped in exquisite detail

Summary:
Researchers have created the largest synaptic-resolution, 3D reconstruction of a piece of human brain to date,
showing in vivid detail each cell and its web of neural connections in a piece of human temporal cortex about half the size of a rice grain.
More in it than I expected :-)
quote:
"A cubic millimeter of brain tissue may not sound like much.
But considering that tiny square contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses,
all amounting to 1,400 terabytes of data,
"
Next generation of micro chips?

So where can we view the map ?
