Your genome is the entire sequence of your DNA.

Your sequence and mine are slightly different.

對我們的命運有著極大的影響力

我想觀眾中有些人同意我的說法

All right: "I&#39;m more than my genes" -- all together.

來吧﹕我不只是我的基因 -- 一起來

maybe you can humor me and say this all together too.

為了讓我開心﹐或許我們可以再宣示一次﹖

You know, you guys are so great, you don&#39;t even know what a connectome is,

and you&#39;re willing to play along with me.

你們實在太棒了﹐你們甚至不知道聯結體是什麼

Well, so far only one connectome is known,

這個圖表裡的每個結都是一個神經元

Your connectome is far more complex than this

There&#39;s a diagram like this for your brain,

but there&#39;s no way it would fit on this slide.

你的腦子也能做成像這樣的圖表

Your connectome contains one million times more connections

We don&#39;t know for sure, but there are theories.

Since the 19th century, neuroscientists have speculated

我們還不能確定﹐但有一些學說

從十九世紀以來﹐神經科學家推測

in the connections between your brain&#39;s neurons.

And perhaps other aspects of your personal identity --

maybe your personality and your intellect --

And so now you can see why I proposed this hypothesis:

現在你可以了解為什麼我要提出這個假設﹕

I didn&#39;t ask you to chant it because it&#39;s true;

我要你和我一起吟誦不是因為它是真的

And in fact, we don&#39;t know if this hypothesis is correct,

事實上﹐我們不知道這個假設是否正確

因為我們從來沒有如此強大的科技

took over a dozen years of tedious labor.

And to find the connectomes of brains more like our own,

we need more sophisticated technologies, that are automated,

要找到我們腦子裡的這些聯結體

that will speed up the process of finding connectomes.

And in the next few minutes, I&#39;ll tell you about some of these technologies,

才能加速我們找尋聯結體的速度。

接下來的幾分鐘﹐我會告訴你們這些

in my lab and the labs of my collaborators.

Now you&#39;ve probably seen pictures of neurons before.

we have to see all the neurons at the same time.

who works in the laboratory of Jeff Lichtman

Bobby is holding fantastically thin slices

And we&#39;re zooming in by a factor of 100,000 times

so that we can see the branches of neurons all at the same time.
