Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...

Connectomics, a rapidly evolving field in neuroscience, is transforming our understanding of the brain’s intricate network of neural connections. By mapping these complex pathways, scientists aim to ...

After nine years of painstaking work, an international team of researchers on Wednesday published a precise map of the vision centers of a mouse brain, revealing the exquisite structures and ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

In a major milestone for neuroscience, researchers have mapped the entire wiring of a fruit fly’s brain—marking the first time we’ve charted every neuron and its connections in an adult animal. This ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. The diagram of all 139,255 neurons in the adult fly brain is ...

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

An AI-produced rendering shows a map of mouse brain regions, overlaid with network motifs. (UCSF Illustration) Scientists say an artificial intelligence program that they compare to ChatGPT has helped ...

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
