This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

From birth to the last moments of life, the human brain is known to change and evolve significantly, both in terms of its ...

Many brain functions, particularly the senses, are similar across different mammal species.

Dallas researchers are embarking on a multi-year project to map the cerebellum and explore neuromodulation therapies for ...

Scientists have created a technology called Oz that stimulates individual photoreceptor cells in the human eye to create an entirely new, ultra-saturated color never seen in nature—dubbed olo.

Modern magnetic resonance imaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging and functional imaging can provide a wealth of information about the brain in both health and disease. We are collecting ...

By applying a novel algorithm, they generated a multi-dimensional map that captures each person's unique brain signature—a fingerprint of how they perform and experience tasks. Their findings indicate ...

The distressing find was made on a community-led housing project in London, England on Saturday, April 12 Tony Kershaw / SWNS via AP Human remains were discovered by horrified residents in gravel ...

Scientists have found the region of the brain ... mapping techniques, we have deepened our understanding of the complex and, so far, poorly understood neural structures underlying human reasoning.

An exciting area of research is the large collaborations trying to map the human brain in detail – the connectome. This is often likened to the genome project, but it is a much greater undertaking.

“One byproduct of this whole project shows us just how incredibly ... However, he said mapping the human brain connectome in similar synaptic resolution would be a dramatically more difficult ...
