This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

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 ...

Every second, machines like drones, smartphones, and self-driving cars capture floods of visual data. But turning this data ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

It pinpoints 523 million synapses, which are the connection points between cells. ... Two of the goals of that program are to generate a detailed wiring diagram for the complete mouse brain, ...

Researchers view wiring diagrams as a foundational step that scientists can build on and, eventually, potentially use to find treatments for brain conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s and ...

Ultimately, this massive effort succeeded in reconstructing a complete Drosophila brain connectome (Fig. 1a), including around 140,000 neurons and 54.5 million synapses, reported by Dorkenwald and ...
