Beyond mapping healthy brain circuits, the project may also provide a blueprint for studying neurological conditions. “If you have a broken radio and you have the circuit diagram, you’ll be in a ...

WASHINGTON: 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, an ...

In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it would be impossible to create an accurate diagram of the brain’s wiring and neuronal activity—even within just a cubic millimeter of brain tissue.

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific American.

In 1979, famed molecular biologist, Francis Crick, stated that it would be “[impossible] to create an exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are ...

Researchers in Australia have successfully created the first kangaroo embryo using in vitro fertilization, or IVF, according to a new study.. The team from the University of Queensland used IVF to ...

A new review has documented the remarkable journey of Australia's most critically endangered marsupial, the Gilbert's potoroo, from its rediscovery to ongoing recovery efforts. The research, which ...

Marsupial moles are also close relatives of the eastern barred bandicoot (shown). JJ Harrison (CC BY-SA 3.0) Bilbies and bandicoots do not look very much at all like their mole cousins.

But this is the first time we’ve seen such a detailed 3D brain map of any organism, and it is truly spectacular to behold. Don’t Miss : New self-healing concrete that fixes its own cracks is ...
