By mapping out its neurophysiological mechanisms, the researchers aim to deepen our understanding of how the brain transitions between different modes of awareness. Mind blanking—the experience ...

and cognition that occur as our minds blank out. “We sought to better understand mind blanking by parsing through 80 relevant research articles — including some of our own in which we recorded ...

Meaning that, “when the brain is in a high- or low-arousal state, a mind blank is more likely to occur.” In experiments with healthy volunteers, the brain shows signs of “deactivation” and an increase ...

You know that feeling when your mind goes blank? One minute you’re happily getting on with something; the next, it’s like all the thoughts have just fallen out of your head. A new study is ...

WASHINGTON: Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse’s cerebral cortex involved in vision ...

Scientists Wednesday unveiled a functional 3-D map of the 84,000 neurons in a cubic millimeter of a mouse's brain, along with more than three miles of microscopic wiring — axons and smaller ...

The result includes more than half a billion connections across one cubic ... “It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...
