Problem
New large-scale connectome reconstructions (tens of thousands of neurons, tens of millions of connections) need easy, efficient analysis tools usable by non-specialists.
Why it matters
Large connectomes interest a broad research community but prior tools could not handle the scale.
What the AI did
Deep learning made connectome reconstruction practical (stated as enabling context); neuPrint itself is a database and analysis ecosystem organizing connectome data for discovery.

real but narrower advance
Abstract states new connectomes contain tens of thousands of neurons and tens of millions of connections, of interest to a large community of non-specialists; a useful research tooling advance.
Basis: stated.
The source itself states the scale.
Stated scale: tens of thousands of neurons, tens of millions of connections. Method and limits.
