MICrONS: A Maze for a Cortical Instrument

Field notes

The instrument combines an interactive cortical volume with a maze trial record, presenting anatomy, activity, and behavioral state in one interface. Its documentation describes a seeded 21 × 21 corridor graph, reproducible topology hashes, and a model that receives only currently open corridors rather than a solution path. The page also distinguishes dataset-scale anatomy—roughly 200,000 cells and more than 523 million detected synapses—from the model’s runtime navigation state.
