The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder marked primarily by β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and abnormal ...

While the human brain has about one million times more neurons ... This dataset is a bit like Google Maps but for brains: the raw wiring diagram between neurons is like knowing which structures on ...

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 global team has constructed the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date. A global collaboration of over 150 researchers has created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian ...

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.

“Scientists have been studying the structure and anatomy of the brain — including the morphology of different cell types and how they connect — for over a century. Simultaneously, they’ve ...

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

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 ...
