Table 2.
Storage in PB required for the human synaptome for the given number of neurons and synapses per neuron estimated for the full topologic, point, and geometric synaptic models (and the corresponding simplified models in parentheses).
Table 3.
Storage required for the human cerebral cortex (in TB), cerebellum (in PB), and brainstem/striatum/diencephalon (in TB) for the case of 86 billion neurons in the entire brain for the given number of synapses per neuron estimated for the full topologic, point, and geometric synaptic models (and the corresponding simplified models in parentheses).
Table 4.
Comparison of storage required for C.elegans, Drosophila, and human (for the case of 86 billion neurons in the entire brain and 1,000–10,000 synapses per neuron) estimated for the full topologic, point, and geometric synaptic models (and the corresponding simplified models in parentheses).
