A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

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 fire ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives.

And the brain accounts for 20% of the human body’s energy usage 2. Wielding a tool typically used for woodworking, the study’s authors divided a slice of frozen human brain ― from a 54-year ...

In the course of evolution, this interplay has led to the human brain being unique in its size and complexity. The newly gained insights not only provide a deeper understanding of the evolutionary ...

"But we don't have a way to look at bioenergetics across the entire human brain." "MitoBrainMap marks a milestone toward understanding the energy landscape underlying brain health, with ...

When the human brain is starved of energy, it may start to 'eat' its own fatty tissue for fuel, according to a pilot study on the brains of marathon runners. The findings hint at a whole new form of ...
