Blueprinting the human brain | CNET News.com: "SAN JOSE, Calif.--A 3D computer simulation of 10,000 neurons firing in the human brain produces a terabyte of data--a fraction of what it would take to map the brain's billions of neurons in algorithms.
That's according to Henry Markham, a scientist working on the Blue Brain project, a collaboration of IBM, the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, or EPFL, in Lausanne, Switzerland, and others. The project is an attempt to create a blueprint of the human brain to advance cognition research."
Analysis of system evolution patterns shows that mapping is a precursor to route building. For example, 15th century voyages opened up the New World for future commercial exploitaion. This project is a clear indication that human brain has become the next frontier for bio-computational research.

Please define "mapping" and "route building".
