The motor cortex is a region of the brain that plays an important role in learning and memory. The new research shows how cells are connected to each other at the synaptic level. This could help with aging populations, there are lots of neological conditions on the outsides.

00:52 Improving the accuracy of weather forecasts with AI
Short-term rain predictions are a significant challenge for meteorologists. Now, a team of researchers have come up with an artificial-intelligence based system that weather forecasters preferred to other prediction methods.
A group of researchers are undertaking an enormous task: to make a cellular atlas of the entire brain. This week, they publish a suite of papers that has accomplished this feat for one part of the brain — the motor cortex.
