Harvard and Google Research have released a startlingly deep dive into the human brain, mapping thousands of cells and millions of synapses in a poppy seed-sized sample of brain tissue. The effort ...

Researchers have created a detailed map of chemical modifications to DNA that occur in the human brain from the earliest ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain so far, by mapping cells in 1 cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue 1. In a landmark achievement, the ...

Neuroscientists have reconstructed the first complete wiring map of the fruit-fly brain, including 140,000 neurons and more than 50 million connections. This resource has already begun to ...

Scientists suggest strange swirls across the outer layer of the brain might be used to link different parts of it together and help process information faster. When you purchase through links on our ...

A review of over 100 years of neuroscience research asks if some brain regions are more important than others for consciousness. What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain ...
