Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date.

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

and now aims to understand the genetic basis of cortex expansion during human evolution. Other groups are looking at neuronal morphogenesis, synapse refinement, and circuit formation. System ...

These cell types are distinguished by their gene expression patterns, and within one cortical area, they perform distinct functions. For the gene expression study, led by the Allen Institute’s Hongkui ...

Instead, the study suggested that a cortical movement unit has a more horizontally distributed and modular organization, where neuron-type-specific modules interact dynamically across different ...

So, maintaining cortical neurons in culture for a prolonged time is still challenging. Almost immediately after I started working with neuronal cultures, I was having problems. If I had five plates, ...

In Vivo Two-Photon Based Imaging of Cortical Blood Flow Two-photon imaging of cortical blood flow through an acute cranial window. Blood vessels were visualized via injection of a fluorescein molecule ...
