   The H01 dataset (57,000 cells, 150M synapses, 1.4PB) is human cortex, not mouse

   Before

   a team from Harvard and Google published the connectome of a cubic millimeter of mouse cortex: 57,000 neurons, 150 million synapses, and approximately 1.4 petabytes of data

   After

   a team from Harvard and Google published the connectome of a cubic millimeter of human cortex: 57,000 neurons, 150 million synapses, and approximately 1.4 petabytes of data

   Why: Body text was already correctly fixed to say 'human cortex'. However the FAQ field (question 'What is connectomics and what does it promise for understanding the brain?') still contained the stale, unfixed claim that the H01 dataset (57,000 neurons, 150 million synapses, 1.4 petabytes) was 'mouse cortex'.

   Decoded the faq field (base64->json->base64->json), corrected 'mouse cortex' to 'human cortex' in that answer, re-encoded with the exact reverse operation sequence, PUT the post, and verified by re-fetching and re-decoding that the fix is present and the field still resolves to a valid 7-entry array.
