From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

You probably have a general understanding of the human brain: a network of nerve cells connected by synapses. Complex or abstract ideas emerge as a result of the firing of many of these nerve ...

In the course of evolution, this interplay has led to the human brain being unique in its size and complexity. The newly gained insights not only provide a deeper understanding of the evolutionary ...
