Brain dynamics and cognition share genetic roots. Criticality may guide future brain health research. A recent study published on June 24 in PNAS presents strong evidence that brain criticality—the de ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers mapped all 139,255 neurons in the brain of an adult fruit fly, which are linked by more than 50 million synapses. Tyler Sloan for FlyWire, Princeton University, (Dorkenwald, S. et al ...
