It contains more than 523 million synapses, miles of axons and more than 200,000 cells, and what makes this wiring diagram and brain map unique, is that it also includes functional properties of ...

The cerebral cortex is the brain’s outermost layer and is involved in many of the higher functions of the human brain including memory, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and emotions..

The new map, which captures a cubic millimetre of a mouse’s visual cortex, will allow scientists to study brain function in extraordinary detail, potentially revealing crucial insights into how ...

The map shows one cubic millimeter worth of neurons in the visual cortex of a mouse. Many brain functions, particularly the senses, are similar across different mammal species.

From a cubic millimeter of tissue, scientists constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

While most peeks at the cerebral cortex have involved brains at rest, researchers at MIT put people in front of engaging movies as they monitored their neural activity.
