2019 was nuts for neuroscience. I said this last year too, but that's the nature of accelerating technologies: the advances just keep coming.
There are the theoretical showdowns: a mano a mano battle of where consciousness arises in the brain, wildly creative theories of why our brains are so powerful, and the first complete brain wiring diagram of any species. This year also saw the the birth of "hybrid" brain atlases that seek to interrogate brain function from multiple levels--genetic, molecular, and wiring, synthesizing individual maps into multiple comprehensive layers.
