The Human Connectome Project, completed in 2017, mapped over 100 trillion neural connections in the human brain, revealing that just one cubic millimeter of brain tissue contains about 1.5 million connections—enough to make your smartphone's wiring look simplistic by comparison. This level of detail has revolutionized our understanding of brain disorders like Alzheimer's.
