The activity of neurons in the mammalian brain is known to contribute to the development of the brain at the early stages of development. While past neuroscientific studies have gathered evidence ...

WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - 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 ...

One of the defining features of humans is our brain's remarkable capacity for language, planning, memory, creativity, and more. These abilities stem not just from our large brain size, but also from ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

A mouse study found that shared hippocampal neurons route incoming and outgoing signals through separate activity patterns, allowing learning and memory retention to coexist.

Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists have achieved a feat once believed impossible, constructing the largest functional map of a brain to date, which they ...

Biophysically detailed simulation of the whole mouse cortex neuron by neuron, with sub-cellular resolution—that is, capturing ion flows and fluctuations of membrane voltage within many compartments ...

Individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease often experience a declining ability to recognize and remember smells.

Researchers have figured out how to temporarily look straight through a living brain tissue with minimal invasiveness and interference in its processes. Japanese researchers at Kyushu University ...
