# Toward Simulating Our Own Brain Circuitry by Andrew C. Payne > "We anticipate PRISM will be essential for scaling up whole-brain connectomics from small brains, to the large brains of mice and ultimately humans — a critical need for making more human-like AI, treating brain disorders, and even simulating our own brain circuitry." > **— Andrew C. Payne**, *2024, E11 Bio connectomics roadmap* ## Sources and Context - **Authored roadmap and full sentence:** [A roadmap to scale connectomics to entire mammalian brains](https://www.e11.bio/blog/roadmap) — Payne identifies mammalian-scale connectomics as infrastructure for brain-inspired AI, brain-disorder research, and detailed simulation of human brain circuitry. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Article:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] - **Article:** [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] - **Article:** [[articles/Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks and the Allen Institute|Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks and the Allen Institute]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Andrew C.
