A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

Rice University scientists have developed the first complete, label-free molecular atlas of the Alzheimer's brain in an animal model. The findings help advance understanding of Alzheimer's onset and ...

A popular technique for studying brain disorders, known as lesion network mapping (LNM), appears to have a fundamental limitation. This is the conclusion of neuroscientists from Vrije Universiteit ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...

A huge project led by neuroscientists from all across the world has achieved world-first insight into what decision-making looks like in the brain. It marks the first time a single-cell, ...

For decades, researchers have attempted to pinpoint the specific areas of the brain responsible for human intelligence. A new ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the brain holds a ‘map’ of the body that remains unchanged even after a limb has been amputated, contrary to the prevailing view that it ...
