Neuroscientists want to understand how individual neurons encode information that allows us to distinguish objects, like ...

Psilocybin, a psychedelic compound contained in some varieties of mushrooms, has recently been found to be promising for the ...

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from The Matrix, scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off messages.

WASHINGTON — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date — a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons ...

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, an achievement that ...

Scientists at the Allen Institute, a research center in Seattle, then sliced that piece of the mouse’s brain into more than 25,000 layers, each a tiny fraction of the width of a human hair, and ...

Using a piece of that mouse’s brain about the size of a poppy seed, the researchers identified those neurons and traced how they communicated via branch-like fibres through a surprising 500 ...
