A New Look at Brain Function and Organization The findings from the studies reveal new cell types, characteristics, organizational and functional principles, and a new way to classify cells.

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 achievement ...

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 the years ahead, neuroscientists could use the freely available MICrONS data set to fine-tune their models of brain structure and function. It might also be possible to track down the causes of ...

EM, researchers elucidated the structure of key receptors integral to fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the rat ...

The cranial nerves are a set of twelve pairs of nerves that travel to and from the brain. Each has a different function. For example, the olfactory nerve is essential for detecting smells. The ...

Your brain is like a supercomputer that controls every function in your body. Weighing 3 pounds on average, this organ is responsible for your mental abilities, such as thinking, emoting, learning ...
