A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.

Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex.

These cells share important molecular and functional characteristics with neural stem cells of the brain. Peripheral neural stem cells have the same cell morphology, self-renewal and differentiation ...

The project — called Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks ... 200,000 neurons and other types of brain cells, along with 523 million neural connections. For Nuno da Costa, a biologist ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

What distinguishes the mammalian brain from that of other vertebrates ... the investment in MICrONS will help to unravel the complex neural networks underlying cognition and behaviour.
