Scientists say they've put together a molecular toolkit that could be used to treat a variety of brain diseases, possibly ...

Mapping a whole mouse brain at nanoscale resolution is still technologically challenging. Here, the MICrONS team zeroed in on a poppyseed-sized chunk of the visual cortex. Often dubbed “the seat of ...

For nearly a century, scientists have known that different parts of the human brain’s ... restoring lost motor function. Cell class-specific orofacial motor maps in mouse neocortex.

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

scientists at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston began by using specialized microscopes to record the brain activity in a 1-cubic-millimeter portion of tissue in a lab mouse’s visual cortex ...

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 ... cortex, which could simulate the ...

Thanks to a mouse watching ... animal's visual cortex lit up as they processed the images flashing by. Next, scientists at the Allen Institute analyzed that small piece of brain tissue, using ...

A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston started by recording brain activity in a portion of the mouse’s visual cortex roughly the size of a grain of salt while it watched ...
