To map it is essentially to build the brain's wiring diagram. The human brain connectome has not yet been fully mapped at the cellular or the macro (high-level structural and functional) scale ...
In the past, researchers managed to map out a fruit fly larvae’s brain. But this is the first time we’ve seen such a detailed 3D brain map of any organism, and it is truly spectacular to behold.
Neuroscientists reach major milestone in whole-brain circuit mapping project Date: June 1, 2012 Source: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Summary: Neuroscientists have just reached an important ...
Only one organism’s wiring diagram currently exists: that of the microscopic worm C. elegans.Despite containing a mere 302 neurons, the C. elegans mapping effort took more than a decade to ...
Beyond mapping healthy brain circuits, the project may also provide a blueprint for studying neurological conditions. “If you have a broken radio and you have the circuit diagram, you’ll be in a ...
A new map of the cerebral cortex greatly increases our understanding of the brain by revealing 97 areas in each of the brain's hemispheres that had not been previously identified.
The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly.
By providing a “circuit diagram” of healthy brain tissue, scientists can begin comparing it to models of disease, identifying where breakdowns in communication occur.

BARseq builds a better brain map Date: October 17, 2019 Source: ... "If we could have a complete wiring diagram, a map, that would provide a foundation for understanding thought, ...
Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to know.
A new brain mapping analysis (Schaper et al., 2023) published in JAMA Neurology on July 3, suggests that lesional epilepsy is linked to a subcortical brain network with roots deep below the ...
