To address this, scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a whole-brain atlas visualizing regions of the ...

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

MRI technology maps brain metabolism in real time. This high-resolution, non-invasive technique reveals metabolic activity ...

Illinois engineers fused ultrafast imaging with smart algorithms to peek at living brain chemistry, turning routine MRIs into ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published ...

My late father, Richard Bergland, M.D. (1932-2007) published The Fabric of Mind in 1986. For the book cover, dad insisted on a sagittal plane view; he liked how this vantage point elucidates major ...

From a cubic millimeter of tissue, scientists constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

Recent technological advances are allowing neuroscientists to map the human brain with increasing precision, highlighting connections between different regions and their function in greater depth.

Many brain functions, particularly the senses, are similar across different mammal species. Scientists have mapped an unprecedentedly large portion of the brain of a mouse.

The map promises to accelerate the study of normal brain function: seeing, storing and processing memories, and navigating complex environments. As importantly, it will deepen the study of brain ...

The first full map of an adult fruit fly's brain shows 50 million connections between neurons. Researchers are using the map to learn how all brains work.

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A new package of papers examines the largest map yet of mammalian brain tissue. The map shows one ...
