To test the limits, the researchers started by firing a powerful, ultrafast laser into the side of a volunteer’s head. The ...

In a nutshell Scientists successfully transmitted light through an entire adult human head for the first time, overcoming extreme attenuation of 10^18 to detect individual photons The technique can ...

Human-based brain organoids derived directly from patient cells that mimic the complex structure and function of the human brain address existing research gaps and open the door to personalized ...

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.

AI-based software then stitched individual sections into a 3D recreation of the original brain region, with brain cells, wirings, and synapses each highlighted in differed colors. The map contains ...

WASHINGTON: Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision, an ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue.

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

This image shows a subset of more than 1,000 of the 120,000 brain cells (neuron + glia) reconstructed in the MICRONS project. Each reconstructed neuron is a different random color. In this image ...
