This feat was said to be extraordinary and their automated microscopes had to collect 100 million images of 25,000 slices of the minuscule sample continuously over several months. To store the resulting information on a computer required 2 petabytes.The human brain contains nearly 100 billion neurons, as much as the stars in the Milky Way.</blockquote>
