Researchers have developed a new technique to label individual neurons in the brain in different colors. This method, which the scientists have dubbed 'brainbow,' could help shed light on brain ...

From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of the ...

The University of Minnesota Medical School received a $16 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies ® (BRAIN) Initiative ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for ...

New technologies that allow scientists to trace the fine wiring of the brain more accurately than ever before could soon generate a complete wiring diagram–including every tiny fiber and miniscule ...

Scientists have developed new technology that allows them to see which neurons are talking to which other neurons in live fruit flies. The human brain is composed of billions of neurons wired together ...

Our brains are wondrous, incredible machines. They're slower than the earliest personal computers in terms of raw processing power, yet capable of leaps of intuition and able to store a lifetime of ...

Colors can be categorized as reddish or greenish, but rarely ever both. The same is true of yellow and blue. Now a new eye map shows how these hues are like oil and water in our brains. These ...
