Creation: Two-photon (2P) calcium images of neurons were obtained from the primary visual cortex of awake mice. Images were motion-corrected usingsuite2p. The mean image of neural activity was used as the basis for mapping "neural constellations."

Caption: Just as we map the constellations of the universe, we can map the constellations of the mind. Each neuron is a star, each connection a pathway through the universe of thought.
