A new study may overturn more than 100 years of accepted science about how the brain functions. Researchers applied a mathematical model to brain activity and found that brain function may have ...

The human brain is composed of billions of neurons wired together in intricate webs and communicating through electrical pulses and chemical signals. Although neuroscientists have made progress in ...

Researchers have noticed that there is a correlation between the thickness of the RC and GC layers in the retina and some diseases or disorders that involve the brain. For example, stroke ...

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 ...

Brain dynamics and cognition share genetic roots. Criticality may guide future brain health research. A recent study published on June 24 in PNAS presents strong evidence that brain criticality—the de ...

Of course, altering a mouse brain is a bit different than the incredibly complex neural landscape found in the human brain—after all, a mouse brain contains only 75 million neurons, whereas a ...
