A connectome is essentially a wiring diagram. It shows how each of the millions or billions of neurons (gray matter) in a brain each connect to thousands of other neurons through projections called ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -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, ...

It's the first brain-wide wiring diagram for a mammal at such a level of detail. While it doesn't reveal every connection between each of the rodent's 75 million brain cells, it shows how parts of the ...

Neurons transmit information through their extensions – the axons – and form a complex network of connections, which provides the basis for all information processing in the brain. Analysing this ...

WASHINGTON — A year to the day after President Barack Obama announced a $100 million "BRAIN Initiative" to accelerate discoveries about how gray matter thinks, feels, remembers and sometimes succumbs ...

What happens in the brain when we see, hear, think and remember? To be able to answer questions like this, neuroscientists need information about how the millions of neurons in the brain are connected ...

NEW YORK (AP) - Scientists have created a detailed, three-dimensional wiring diagram of the mouse brain. That should help researchers seek clues about how the human brain works in health and disease.
