After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

(CNN) — Using a speck of mouse brain matter the size of a grain of sand, scientists have created the first precise, three-dimensional map of a mammal’s brain. The map details the form, function and ...

The connectome is the complete map of neural connections in the brain, a project so complex that scientists compare it to ...

For the first time, researchers at Leipzig University and other institutions have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The findings ...

When we listen to a story, our brain activates different regions according to a precise temporal hierarchy. From word analysis to narrative integration, this organization highlights underlying ...

Understanding neurological disease requires several things, including a clear view of the connectome, and the U.S. National Institutes of Health may have a solution in the form of a new MRI system ...
