Analysing a mouse’s brain activity tells scientists where the animal is located and the exact direction it is looking. With further research, the findings could one day help robots navigate ...

Facemap uses a mouse's facial movements to predict brain activity, bringing researchers one step closer to understanding brain-wide signals driven by spontaneous behaviors. Mice are always in motion.

Nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord are wrapped in an insulating sheath known as myelin. For a long time, this barrier, which is essentially the brain's white matter, was believed to serve the ...

Janelia scientists have developed a tool that could bring researchers one step closer to understanding brain-wide signals driven by spontaneous behaviors. The tool, known as Facemap, uses deep neural ...
