A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution ...

A new study reveals that the sequence of eye movements—not just eye contact itself—plays a key role in how we interpret ...

All day long, our brains carry out complicated and energy-intensive tasks such as remembering, solving problems, and making decisions.

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

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 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue.

WASHINGTON - 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 ...

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.
