In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

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 ...

2.5 miles of neurons: World’s most complex brain map connects structure to thought What began with a sliver of brain tissue no larger than a grain of sand has culminated in a scientific ...

Two of the goals of that program are to generate a detailed wiring diagram for the complete mouse brain, and to map long-distance connections between different areas of the human brain.

Dyslexia genetics linked to brain structure Date: December 18, 2024 Source: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Summary: Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty in which genes often play a ...

In people with opioid use disorder, Yale researchers found several opioid receptor-rich brain regions where both volume and function were altered.

Social isolation can have serious adverse effects on young people’s brain development – effects that are long lasting.

One plausible mechanism underlying these widespread benefits from education is the long-term reorganization of brain structure. Lifespan theories on heterogenous neurodevelopment place particular ...

Mapping all the connections among the brain’s 100 billion neurons is one of the great scientific and engineering challenges of our time. Scientists, including those at the University of Chicago, began ...

In a ground breaking achievement, researchers from Harvard University and Google have created the most detailed wiring diagram of the human brain ever constructed. This remarkable project began ...

Depression has been linked to a larger-than-expected network of neurons that work together across parts of the brain, but not everyone is convinced that this network actually causes the condition.
