The slice of code — a stretch of DNA that acts like a dial to turn up the expression of certain genes — expanded the outer ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most ...

Many brain functions, particularly the senses, are similar across different mammal species.

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.

University of Edinburgh team uses live brain slices to reveal how tiny protein imbalances can trigger Alzheimer’s-like damage ...

The researchers describe it as a foundational step, similar to how the Human Genome Project's initial gene mapping ultimately led to gene-based treatments. Mapping an entire mouse brain is one of ...

The tool, the Duke Mouse Brain Atlas, combines microscopic resolution, three-dimensional images from three different ...

The researchers call it a foundational step, like how the Human Genome Project that provided the first gene mapping eventually led to gene-based treatments. Mapping a full mouse brain is the next ...

Jiang and his team have been developing and using chimeric brain models for nearly a decade. He and other lab members focus ...

“The human brain is another factor of 1,500 or so larger than a mouse brain, and so that brings a whole host … of technical and ethical barriers to doing that,” he said. However, it might be ...
