Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Scientists Wednesday unveiled a functional 3-D map of the 84,000 neurons in a cubic millimeter of a mouse's brain, along with ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a ...

The map details the form, function and activity of 84,000 neurons, branched structures that fire off messages down a long arm ...

While a comprehensive cure-all to these neurological conditions is unlikely, scientists are making headway into understanding their fundamental characteristics with the hope of preventing or ...
