An image from the cerebral cortex of a "brainbow" mapped mouse brain. Livet et al. Researchers have developed a new technique to label individual neurons in the brain in different colors.

Despite the foundational need to understand how areas of the brain are connected, the only species for which we have a complete wiring diagram is the simple microscopic worm C. elegans -- a far ...

But imagine for a moment if we could build a complete wiring diagram of a human brain – to map in detail every one of the hundred trillion or so synapses and roughly hundred billion neurons ...

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, an achievement ...

Scientists have taken a crucial step towards obtaining a complete circuit diagram of the brain of the mouse, a key model organism for the neurosciences. Researchers have developed a method for ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A comprehensive wiring diagram and functional map of a mouse brain's visual cortex, the largest to date, has been created from a cubic millimeter of tissue. This ...

This resource has already begun to revolutionize the field. The FlyWire connectome: neuronal wiring diagram of a complete fly brain Neurons are connected at structures called synapses, which ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...

Electron microscopy is still the only tool available for a complete understanding of connectivity at synapse resolution but comes with the notable disadvantage that the neurons are not labelled ...

WASHINGTON, April 9 (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 ...
