The cerebral cortex is considered to be the most important part of the brain, since it plays an essential role in highly complicated functions such as cognition, feeling, thinking, attention, consciousness, memory and learning. The basic design or architecture of the intracortical neural circuitry is, however, not understood enough to explain these functions, and needs to be investigated extensively. Here, I introduce our efforts to reveal the local connectivity of the cerebral cortex using the from one to many strategy. By combining intracellular staining (from one) and Golgi-stain-like labeling of functionally grouped neurons (to many), we are trying to visualize the neuron-to-neuron connections in the cerebral cortex.
