It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...

Inaccurate metaphors about the mind can cause real harm, for instance leading educators to 'train' children like algorithms.

A map of part of a mouse brain, which is expected to be generalisable to people, could help scientists understand behaviours, consciousness and even what it means to be human ...

The first step to mapping the brain pizza was to slice it into 5,019 individual cross sections (each 30 nanometers thin) mounted on tape using a specially designed machine that cuts with a diamond ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau - a protein known ...

Neurospirituality crosses multiple disciplines to study how and why the human brain has a sense of the divine. Evidence is ...

Far from a full brain map, this particular effort involved only a cubic millimeter of the human temporal cortex, containing 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels and 150 million synapses.

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists figure out how learning changes the human brain, too.

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...
