The brain is a complicated network of connections and functions, but its inner machinations remain an enigma. In a huge collaborative effort, researchers profiled millions of cells to chart a cellular ...

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston started by recording brain activity in a portion of the mouse’s visual cortex roughly the size of a grain of salt while it watched ...

Why Trust Us? A new package of papers examines the largest map yet of mammalian brain tissue. The map shows one cubic millimeter worth of neurons in the visual cortex of a mouse. Many brain ...

For decades, neuroscientists have developed mathematical frameworks to explain how brain activity drives behaviour in predictable, repetitive scenari ...

Phototactile' hand stimulation rapidly activates first the somatosensory then the motor cortex, broadly consistent with constraints suggested by the previously described circuit architecture of this ...

Scientists have created the most detailed functional brain map to date by tracing connections between 84,000 neurons in a mouse's visual cortex. The research, which involved showing the mouse ...

Generating a complete multimodal cell census and atlas of the mouse brain through collaborative ... anterior and posterior retrosplenial cortex, dorsal–ventral segregation of dentate gyrus ...

While tau has an important neurophysiological function, when it undergoes pathological changes and accumulates in the brain ... in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, but they do not develop ...
