For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same function are grouped into columns. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck ...

This image shows a subset of more than 1,000 of the 120,000 brain cells reconstructed in the MICRONS project. Each reconstructed neuron is a different random color. It is meant as a symbolic ...

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 ...

Much as a pilot might practice maneuvers in a flight simulator, scientists might soon be able to perform experiments on a realistic simulation of the mouse brain. In a new study, Stanford Medicine ...

The population of the developing brain with cells, is a mass-migratory event that proceeds with algorithmic precision. A recent publication uncovered a few of the molecular players that define this ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns. For over 50 years, it has been known that in the cerebral cortex of many mammals, neurons with the same ...

In a major leap for neuroscience, researchers have created the first functional connectome of the mouse visual cortex at cubic millimeter scale, linking neural activity to synaptic wiring across an ...

Vision shapes behavior and, a new study by MIT neuroscientists finds, behavior and internal states shape vision. The research, published Nov. 25 in Neuron, finds in mice that via specific circuits, ...
