story a:

they mutilate a mouse after showing it the movie The Matrix - " the researchers showed a mouse snippets of video, including sports, animation and scenes from "The Matrix."

Afterward, they shaved that tiny piece of brain into 25,000 ultra-thin sections, taking 100 million high-resolution images to reconstruct the neural connections in 3D."

story b:
