For more than a century, maps of the brain have been based on how brain tissue looks under the microscope. These anatomical ...

Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...

Scientists have found 50 million reasons to study the brain of a fruit fly. That's how many connections they discovered in the first complete map— known as a connectome—of an adult insect's brain.

This image could be hung in a gallery, but it started life as a tiny chunk of a woman’s brain. In 2014, a woman undergoing surgery for epilepsy had a tiny chunk of her cerebral cortex removed. This ...

An Indian-origin Harvard professor, Aravinthan Samuel, is revolutionizing brain mapping with SmartEM, an AI-powered system.

Scientists from the Nencki Institute and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have revealed a key mechanism in how our brains change when we learn new information or form memories. A new ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution. By imaging much faster and with less harm to brain tissue ...

he human brain is formed by a complex network of neural connections and most of them link neighbouring brain regions, which are also the most studied to date. But a recent neuroscientific study by ...

A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.
