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 ...

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 ...

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.

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how ...

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

Researchers say this could lead to more targeted treatment approaches. To many other researchers, creating a map of the 86 billion neurons, or nerve cells, that make up the brain would be ...

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 ...

The first attempt at mapping a brain—a 14-year study of the roundworm begun in the 1970s—resulted in a partial map and a Nobel Prize. Since then, partial connectomes have been mapped in many systems, ...
