In a massive scientific effort, hundreds of researchers have helped to map the connections between hundreds of thousands of neurons in the mouse brain and then overlayed their firing patterns in ...

The team of scientists behind the project said the map of neuron wiring was so complex, it looked like a picture of a galaxy.

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to ...

In 2022, researchers at the University of Twente announced they had developed molecular switches that mimic brain synapses – a critical component for neuromorphic systems. As professor Christian ...

These mysterious structures have revolutionized our understanding of brain plasticity and development while opening new therapeutic avenues for various neuropsychiatric conditions. Silent synapse ...

Ginkgo biloba is rich in flavonoids and terpenoids, powerful antioxidants that protect brain cells from oxidative damage. One of its most studied effects is its ability to increase blood flow to ...

It is increasingly clear brain changes occur during this period – and that some can ultimately be positive. More than that, these changes demonstrate that menopause may offer a crucial window ...

Memory loss is one of the most prevalent symptoms of Alzheimer's, and synapse loss (decline in connection and function between brain cells) is also characteristic of the disease. The researchers ...

An AI model trained on dozens of hours of real-world conversation accurately predicts human brain activity and shows that features of language structure emerge without being coded in.
