WASHINGTON (Reuters) -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, ...

When the Drosophila genome was first sequenced and released some 20 years ago, it kicked off a deluge of genetic research that has borne amazing fruit in recent years. The same is about to happen in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed 3D brain map of a fly's brain, and it's probably one of the coolest things that you'll see this year. While it might not be a map of the human brain, ...

A lot has happened since scientists in the late 19th century first started examining nerve cells under the microscope. Anatomy, chemistry, physiology and cell biology in healthy as well as in sick ...
