A new study questions the longstanding view that the visual system is divided into two pathways, one for object-recognition and the other for spatial tasks. Using computational vision models, ...

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 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 ...

Although it’s still experimental, they hope the brain-computer interface could someday help give voice to those unable to speak. A new study described testing the device on a 47-year-old woman ...

The Human Rights Review Tribunal is one of the few in New Zealand that can award damages – up to $250,000. Open Justice reporter Jeremy Wilkinson told The Front Page there are several avenues to ...

The way neurons inside the human brain function and communicate is being used as a roadmap for creating new artificial systems. But more strikingly, scientists now are trying to merge human ...

To relate complex human brain dynamics to mitochondria, the spatial distribution of diverse, energy-transforming mitochondria must be mapped across the brain, which is a considerable technical ...

In the course of evolution, this interplay has led to the human brain being unique in its size and complexity. The newly gained insights not only provide a deeper understanding of the evolutionary ...

"Time is brain. Every second, neurons are dying, so we need to get blood back to the brain as quickly as possible," Yakhkind says. Returning blood to the brain is necessary when a patient has an ...

“This study provides an x-ray view into the battery that powers the ... as well as validating the findings in human subjects, might help find new ways to boost the brain’s defenses. This study was ...
