The map traces more than 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of tangled-up axons, the fibers that serve as the “wiring” for brain cells. It pinpoints 523 million synapses, which are the connection points ...

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 ...

The human brain has 100 billion neurons, ... creating a wiring diagram of the brain that could help scientists learn how we each become our unique selves. ... Within each class are many types, ...

If we really want to wrap this back on itself, the human brain – the most dense data storage medium we know – is estimated to have a data storage capacity of 2.5 PB.

Imagine for a moment if we could build a complete wiring diagram of a human brain – to map in detail every one of the hundred trillion or so synapses and roughly hundred billion neurons together ...

Understanding how the brain works is one of science's greatest mysteries. "Except for a simple roundworm, there is still no circuit diagram of a complete animal brain, let alone a human brain ...

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.

An odd mixture of smells--formaldehyde, cookies and coffee--filled the air as Phillip DeFina held up a gray, fist-sized lump in front of his class. Class Links Brain Structure to Pupil Behavior ...
