From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

ScientiFix, our weekly feature, offers you a summary of the top global science stories of the week, with links to their ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most detailed wiring diagram of a piece of mammal brain ever constructed ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

It’s being hailed as the most detailed diagram of a mammal's brain ever made, and a watershed moment for neuroscience. Researchers have created a 3D functional map of part of a mouse's brain. The ...

More mammals were living on the ground several million years before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, new research led by the University of Bristol has revealed. The study, ...

This manuscript demonstrates that Oct4 overexpression synergizes with Notch inhibition (Rbpj knockout) to promote the conversion of adult murine Müller glia (MG) into bipolar cells. These findings are ...

If the genes of a tiny, bumless invertebrate are anything to go by, our anuses might be repurposed sperm chutes.

Before the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, mammals were already adapting to life on the ground. This may have been due to changes in vegetation, not predators. Millions of years before the asteroid ...

Scientists from the University of Adelaide have used some of the most sophisticated quantum cameras to capture life at its first moments, supporting the advancement of clinical In Vitro ...

Sometimes, it is an enigma: in the 2000s a “small caged mammal” appeared, unexpectedly, in the ONS’s calculations. The basket itself, in its modern form, was born in 1947. The political mood ...
