While computational neuroscience and systems biology are currently very far away from this goal, the trends towards large-scale simulation, industrialized <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neuroinformatics\">neuroinformatics<\/a>, new forms of microscopy and powerful computing clusters point in this direction and are enabling new forms of simulations of unprecendented scope.
