Mouse visual cortex wiring diagram and functional map offers insight into human brain complexity and cognition.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to ...

In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

Information gathered in just one cubic millimeter of a rodent’s cerebral cortex will help unravel the complex neural networks ...

In a world of constant stimulation, the thalamus filters which thoughts we become aware of and which we don’t.

The cerebral cortex is the brain's outer layer, the main site of conscious perceptions, judgments and the planning and execution of movements. "Scientists have been studying the structure and ...

In all, they collected data that covers about 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain that ...

The results indicate that having a wider pelvis reduces the risk of complications during birth, but results in slower walking ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type to another. Neurons are specialized brain cells responsible for ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.
