Previous efforts have completed the whole brain diagrams for much smaller brains, for example, for that of a fruit fly larva, which has 3,016 neurons, and a nematode worm, which has 302 neurons.

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

Scientists unveil the first-ever neuron map of the adult brain, offering groundbreaking insights into brain function and paving the way for future neurological research.

Mapping whole brains is difficult and extremely time-consuming, even with the best modern technology. Getting a complete cellular-level picture of a brain requires slicing the brain into hundreds or ...

Any time someone said the name "Jennifer Aniston," or when the patient looked at a picture of Jennifer Aniston or said the name "Jennifer Aniston," one neuron would fire and other neurons would not.

Neurologist L.J. Agostinelli, a graduate of the UI Medical Scientist Program, discovered a brain neuron group tied to pain and itch. Now, she’s published a brain stem atlas in The Journal of ...

Researchers have discovered that apical and basal dendrites of the same neuron use different strategies to learn, suggesting ...

And indeed, that’s been good enough to fuel decades of brain science. Single neuron recordings in humans . ... So you form memories based on pictures, based on images. In the human brain, ...

The brain remains mysterious, but the patterns in these images—rich whorls of neural connections, unexpected symmetries and layers of structure—encourage scientists to believe they will yet ...

Alzheimer’s timeline shows neuron ... is being changed by new tools and techniques that can reveal detailed information about millions of individual brain cells. "They've produced a picture ...
