Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many different brain structures to decode shapes, colours, depths, and movements and turn them into ...
Researchers mapped 84,000 neurons in a mouse brain after it watched video clips. The 3D map links structure and activity.
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.
A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section of a mammalian brain. This feat, part of the MICrONS Project, rivals the ...
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 ...
Scientists have created the most detailed functional brain map to date by tracing connections between 84,000 neurons in a ...
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (later renamed the Weston State Hospital) stands as one of America’s most significant ...
Scientists have achieved a feat once believed impossible, constructing the largest functional map ... view wiring diagrams as a foundational step that scientists can build on and, eventually, ...
When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical impulses ... following traumatic spinal cord injury.
Researchers have identified well-delineated brain networks that are linked to five distinct neurodegenerative diseases, according to a paper published in Neuron today (April 15). Lab safety rules ...
Applying mild electrical stimulation to the cortex, they revealed that the control of certain body parts was localized to particular brain regions—a hotly debated topic at the time. “There had been a ...
