Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Voice experiments in people with epilepsy have helped trace the circuit of electrical signals in the brain that allow its hearing center to sort out background sounds from their own voices. Voice ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A new package of papers examines the largest map yet of mammalian brain tissue. The map shows one cubic ...

AT MASS, GENERAL BRIGHAM RESEARCHERS ARE MAPPING ONE OF THE MOST VAST AND MYSTERIOUS LANDSCAPES KNOWN TO SCIENCE A WORLD OF ...

By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers have mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. The approach could expand ...

"Understanding how the nervous system is wired up is important because that wiring is a large part of what gives the brain's circuitry its function." Over the past few years, many neuroscientists have ...

In a landmark study released today, artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to reveal over a thousand previously hidden components within the human brain’s connectome. These intricate neural ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...
