Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map of a fly's brain, and it's probably one of the coolest things that you'll see this year. While it might not be a map of the human brain, ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, Princeton University scientists have fully mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, unlocking new insights into how brains work. The feat marks ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Offering faster and cheaper 3D brain imaging The ambitious effort to chart every neuronal connection in the brain—connectomics—has long been held back by slow, expensive, and technically demanding ...

A squishy, fatty, beige-colored organ covered with grooves and ridges, the brain doesn’t look all that impressive on the surface. But hidden underneath are up to 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion ...

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...
