Inaccurate metaphors about the mind can cause real harm, for instance leading educators to 'train' children like algorithms.

Co-first author Dr Philipp Schlegel, from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, says: 'This dataset is a bit like Google Maps but for brains: the raw wiring diagram between neurons is like knowing ...

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...
