The Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) Project has built the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. Today, scientists published the scientific findings (see ...

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 team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston started by recording brain activity in a portion of the mouse’s visual cortex roughly the size of a grain of salt while it watched ...

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start-it becomes refined by what ...

More than 150 researchers worked together through MICrONS to create a detailed 3D map of a cubic millimeter taken from a mouse’s brain — and figure out how the 200,000 brain cells in a speck ...

We constructed a neural-network simulation of the fly visual system with the same wiring diagram as that of the real fly brain, and incorporated free parameters that correspond to the unknown ...

Our findings challenge the traditional view that early sensory areas in the brain are simply "looking" or "recording" visual input. In fact, the human brain's visual system actively reshapes how ...

The brain is the human body's control system, and is part of the central nervous system (CNS). ... It also processes memories and emotions and plays a major part in hearing and visual perception.

Incoming information from the retina is channeled into two pathways in the brain's visual system: one that's responsible for ...

A virtual version of a fruit fly's visual system could help scientists understand how brain networks process information. The model could also lead to more efficient AI systems.

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 ...
