Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

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

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and ...

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...

In a July 2018 MIT News article, “ Charting the Cerebellum, ” first author Xavier Guell of MIT's McGovern Institute of Brain Research, describes his team’s state-of-the-art mapping of motor and ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
