The wiring diagram and its supporting files amount to 1.6 petabytes’ worth of data. The map traces more than 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of tangled-up axons, the fibers that serve as the “wiring ...

However, the opposite seemed more likely to be true in people with aphantasia, hinting that they may have totally "different wiring in the brain," Pearson said.

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 ...

A global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

In the brain, our perception arises from a complex interplay of neurons that are connected via synapses. But the number and strength of connections between certain types of neurons can vary ...

People with aphantasia lack the ability to summon crisp images in their "mind's eye." But even though they can't visualize in this way, the blueprints for those imaginary images might still be nestled ...

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.
