They do each of these things on the basis of sophisticated processing of sound, smell, touch and vision, organised and run by a brain composed of about 140,000 neurons—more than the 300 or so ...

A fruit fly might not be the smartest organism, but scientists can still learn a lot from its brain. Researchers are hoping to do that now that they have a new map — the most complete for any ...

Subsequently, their accuracy was calculated based on the actual diagnosis of the tumor after its removal ... can be useful for preoperative MRI diagnosis of brain tumors," stated graduate student ...

Brain mapping is a technique used to help plan brain surgeries. When taking out a brain tumor, for instance, surgeons place electrodes on the brain to determine the location of motor and speech ...

The human brain is constantly picking up patterns in everyday experiences — and can do so without conscious thought , finds a study 1 of neuronal activity in people who had electrodes implanted ...

A landmark study has begun to unravel one of the fundamental mysteries in neuroscience -- how the human brain encodes and makes sense of the flow of time and experiences. A landmark study led by ...
