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 ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire ...

Scientists created the biggest mammalian brain map ever — detailing just a cubic millimeter, or 0.2%, of a mouse brain. The 3D diagram captures more than 2.5 miles of wiring between more than 200,000 ...

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 that ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

So how much of your brain do you really need to survive? Neuroscientists are still investigating this question, and there likely isn't a black-and-white answer. How well a person ...

But it can also precipitate big changes in brain health, including an increased risk of cognitive decline and depression. Before retiring, you’re getting up in the morning, socializing with co ...

Mapping the density, molecular features and energy-transformation capacity of cell organelles called mitochondria in the brain reveals region- and cell-type-specific variability that tracks with ...
