Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 ...

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

To build the map, researchers at Columbia University and the University of Bordeaux took a slice of a frozen human brain and, using a woodworking saw (yikes!), chopped it into 703 sugar-cube-sized ...

This week, researchers reported a brain circuit linked to the intensity of political behavior. Microbiologists found that the ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

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 ...

of a mouse’s brain and the beauty and complexity that you can see in these ... each far thinner than a human hair. With electron microscopes, they took nearly 100 million high-resolution images ...
