Scientists created the biggest mammalian brain map ever — detailing just a cubic millimeter, or 0.2%, of a mouse brain. The 3D diagram captures more than 2.5 miles of wiring between more than 200,000 ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

Trying to grasp the brain's complexity is a little like trying to comprehend the vastness of space – it feels way beyond our ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

A revolutionary blueprint is emerging from a fragment of brain tissue, promising new insights into the mysteries of the human ...

In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s visual cortex.

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision ...

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, ...
