In 1979, famed molecular biologist Francis Crick stated that it would be “impossible to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” ...

The process of discovering molecules that have the properties needed to create new medicines and materials is cumbersome and ...

Scientists have re-created a pain pathway in the brain by growing four key clusters of human nerve cells in a dish. This laboratory model could be used to help explain certain pain syndromes, and ...

This image shows a subset of the more than 1,000 of the 120,000 brain cells (neuron + glia) reconstructed in the MICrONS ...

Scientists have created the most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, mapping every cell and synapse in a ...

A scientific team has used millions of human cells to build neural circuits in the laboratory that sense painful stimuli and ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision ...

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

The hypothalamus is a small but critical region at the base of the brain that controls the autonomic nervous system, ...

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