How is the picture of the visual scene that the eye encodes represented by neural circuits in the brain? In this issue of Cell, Morgan et al. address this question by forming an ultrastructural "connectome" of the mouse's visual thalamus that depicts individual retinal afferents and every contact these form with target relay cells.
眼睛编码的视觉场景图像是如何由大脑中的神经回路来呈现的呢？在本期《细胞》杂志中，摩根等人通过构建小鼠视觉丘脑的超微结构“连接组”来解决这个问题，该连接组描绘了单个视网膜传入神经以及它们与目标中继细胞形成的每一个接触点。
