Mapping all the connections among the brain’s 100 billion neurons is one of the great scientific and engineering challenges of our time. Scientists, including those at the University of Chicago, began ...

Now, the researchers have applied it to image ultra-thin brain slices, taken consecutively from the same mouse brain. As a result, high-resolution images were produced, at a faster rate and lower cost ...

In order to understand brain diseases, neuroscientists try to untangle the intricate nerve fibre labyrinth of our brain. Before analysing brain tissue under a microscope, it is often soaked in ...

Mapping the brain is one of the biggest challenges in modern science. Researchers are trying to understand how billions of brain cells connect and communicate, almost like building a wiring diagram ...
