WASHINGTON (Reuters) -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, ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

Scientists have developed new technology that allows them to see which neurons are talking to which other neurons in live fruit flies. The human brain is composed of billions of neurons wired together ...

Scientists are learning how the brain knows what’s happening throughout the body, and how that process might go awry in some ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue. Now, a ...

The brain of a common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is no larger than a poppy seed, but the miniscule piece of tissue holds tens of thousands of neurons joined by tens of millions of synapses.

Neuroscientists have used data from the human brain connectome -- a publicly available 'wiring diagram' of the human brain based on data from thousands of healthy human volunteers -- to reassess the ...

A detailed map of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain was created by a team of researchers from the Allen Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, and Princeton University. This wiring diagram ...

In one corner of a lab at the Salk Institute, mouse brain diagrams are taped to the wall near a device that slices the tiny brain into segments. Salk neuroscientist Margarita Behrens spent five years ...

A team of neuroscientists and engineers at the Allen Institute, Princeton University and Baylor College of Medicine has just released a collection of data that marries a 3D wiring diagram with the ...

A 3-D reconstruction of cells from the MICrONS data set shows the complexity of shapes and branching axons and dendrites in a mouse brain. Each cell is labeled with a different color. (MICrONS / Allen ...
