Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

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 ...

Scientists debut START, a new tool for mapping the brain's intricate neuronal connections with unparalleled precision. They demonstrate START's ability to identify the connectivity patterns of ...

In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

Neuroscientists are the cartographers of the brain’s diverse domains and territories—the features and activities that define them, the roads and highways that connect them, and the boundaries that ...

Think about the last time you walked down a crowded street, biked along a rocky hiking trail, or swum in a lake. You probably didn't have to stop and think about how you were going to navigate those ...
