Our brains are wondrous, incredible machines. They're slower than the earliest personal computers in terms of raw processing power, yet capable of leaps of intuition and able to store a lifetime of ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -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, ...

The University of Minnesota Medical School received a $16 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies ® (BRAIN) Initiative ...

Researchers say the innovation, known as SmartEM, will speed scanning sevenfold and open the field of connectomics to a ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

Precise knowledge of the connections in the brain – the links between all the nerve cells – is a prerequisite for better understanding this most complex of organs. Now researchers have developed a new ...

Neuroscientists have used data from the human brain connectome -- a publicly available 'wiring diagram' of the human brain based on data from thousands of healthy human volunteers -- to reassess the ...

Researchers have traced the most comprehensive wiring diagram of the mammalian brain so far. The mouse brain “connectome,” charted by a large team of scientists led by Hongkui Zeng at the Allen ...

A detailed map of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain was created by a team of researchers from the Allen Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, and Princeton University. This wiring diagram ...

The brain of a common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is no larger than a poppy seed, but the miniscule piece of tissue holds tens of thousands of neurons joined by tens of millions of synapses.

In one corner of a lab at the Salk Institute, mouse brain diagrams are taped to the wall near a device that slices the tiny brain into segments. Salk neuroscientist Margarita Behrens spent five years ...

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map of a fly's brain, and it's probably one of the coolest things that you'll see this year. While it might not be a map of the human brain, ...
