For over 100 years, scientists have agreed that discrete collections of brain cells fire off signals to other brain areas through a series of interconnected fibers. In a new study, researchers applied ...

Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

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 ...
