Scientists have created a 3D map of a part of the human brain
Researchers from Harvard and Google Research have released the resulting dataset for free access. It is currently the most detailed map of connections in the human brain. It covers 50 thousand neurons and 130 million connections called synapses, as well as subcellular structures, and occupies 1.4 thousand terabytes of memory. All this fits into about one cubic millimeter of brain tissue.
The map has already revealed new information about how our brain works. However, the resulting map is so large that scientists themselves have not yet been able to fully study it.

Value of the US dollar 1635-2020| Statista
When converted to the value of one US dollar in 2020, goods and services that cost one dollar in 1700 would cost just over 63 dollars in 2020, this means that one dollar in 1700 was worth approximately 63 times more than it is today.
