In the years ahead, neuroscientists could use the freely available MICrONS data set to fine-tune their models of brain structure and function. It might also be possible to track down the causes of ...

In a world first, Harvard biologists worked with Google to diagram a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex at the subcellular level, paving the way for the next generation of brain science.

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

A New Look at Brain Function and Organization The findings from the studies reveal new cell types, characteristics, organizational and functional principles, and a new way to classify cells.

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue.

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Your brain is like a supercomputer that controls every function in your body. Weighing 3 pounds on average, this organ is responsible for your mental abilities, such as thinking, emoting, learning ...

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...
